Exploring Brain Evolution and Neanderthal Autism Relations | Interview with Dr. Emily Casanova

Join us for an enlightening episode of “The Story of Us” YouTube series as we sit down with Dr. Emily Casanova, an assistant professor of neuroscience at Loyola University New Orleans. Dr. Casanova’s groundbreaking research delves into the intricate connections between brain evolution, Neanderthal DNA, and autism in modern humans.

In this interview, Dr. Casanova shares her insights on:

• How Neanderthal genetic variants influence autism susceptibility in contemporary populations.

• The evolutionary impact of ancient human hybridization on brain development and function.

• The significance of her findings for understanding the complexity of autism and related conditions.

Discover how the legacy of our ancient ancestors continues to shape human health and development today. This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in genetics, anthropology, and the cutting-edge intersections of neuroscience and evolutionary biology.
