More related to western-Eurasian Neanderthals (Vindija 33.19, Mezmaiskaya 2) than to earlier Denisova Cave Neanderthal (Denisova 5), despite geographic proximity (~100 km). Population-size inference: Siberian Neanderthals lived in isolated subpopulations of <60 individuals. Striatal gene enrichment for amino-acid-changing substitutions unique to Neanderthals.",
