User:Nicolas Perrault III/Neanderthals in Central and Northern Asia
Central and Northern Asian Neanderthals are Neanderthals that lived in Uzbekistan and Asian Russia, the easternmost expanse of their known range.
History of Research
editThe first Neanderthal to be discovered to the east of Southwest Asia was Teshik-Tash in 1938.
Admixture with Denisovans and anatomically modern humans

Thus, the comparative analyses of the first molar of the person from the Strashnaya cave confirmed it [sic] position very closed [sic] to the taxon of Neanderthals. Anymore, [sic] the detail [sic] analysis gives the evidence to discuss the Middle Eastern origins of its antecessor.
