What archaeological and fossil records have not been able to bring to light, artificial intelligence and the analysis of genetic data using algorithms have brought to light. A team led by Coral del Val and Igor Zwir, both from the University of Granada (UGR), has conducted research that identifies genotype differences between the Homo sapiens, modern man, the Homo neanderthalensis, Neanderthals and chimpanzees. And the difference lies in a set of 267 genes responsible for creativity and self-awareness that researchers have described as "determining" in defining the survival of the sapiens compared to the Neanderthals, who disappeared approximately 40,000 years ago.
