Scientists have figured out why humans did not inherit the powerful muscles of the Neanderthals

Almost all genes of Neanderthals and Denisovans, including those DNA regions that were responsible for their powerful muscles, disappeared from the human genome due to "incompatibility" with the general trajectory of human evolution. This conclusion was reached by American scientists, whose article was published by the scientific journal Nature Ecology & Evolution.
