If Are You A Morning Person then it is effect Neanderthal Ancestors living 70000 years ago

Are you also one of those who wake up early in the morning? Do you also wake up early without anyone waking you up? If yes, then the reason behind this is hidden centuries ago. A new study explains why some people wake up early in the morning. A study has been published in the journal Genome Biology and Evolution which explains why some people naturally wake up early in the morning. The reason for this is related to ancestors. People who come from Neanderthal ancestors wake up early in the morning, as this study shows.

Study It is said that it has a genetic link which comes through genes. People who have the DNA of Neanderthal ancestors who lived thousands of years ago wake up early in the morning. It is said that when humans came to Eurasia from Africa 70 thousand years ago, a large part of them were related to Neanderthals. Neanderthals had already adapted to the cold and dark environment of the North. So when interbreeding occurred, genetic exchange also occurred. Whose impact is still present today. The study says that non-African people still carry 1 to 4 percent of Neanderthal DNA with them.

According to the study’s lead author John Capra (University of California, San Francisco), when old DNA was combined with modern human DNA, substantial genetic differences were found. After that, when a portion of Neanderthal DNA was analyzed in modern humans, it was found that this DNA was controlling the circadian genes of modern humans.

This effect remained the same even with changing times. Researchers are now working to apply this study to a much larger and diverse population of modern humans. After which more detailed results can come out about the influence of Neanderthal ancestors. However, it can definitely be said that waking up early in the morning is not just a habit but also the influence of our ancestors.
