Neanderthals are known to have had physiological differences from Homo sapiens, including thicker bones and defined brow ridges, as in this model.Credit: Mike Kemp/In Pictures via Getty Two genetic changes in the genomes of Neanderthals contributed to the extinct hominin’s characteristic robust physique — and the differences persist in modern humans. The variants make carriers

RESEARCH BRIEFINGS 05 August 2026 A study of more than one million people shows that rare genetic variants that disrupt the FNIP1 gene are associated with a favourable metabolic profile and a roughly 60% lower risk of cardiometabolic disease than the general population. Silencing genes in the FNIP1 pathway in mice induces fat breakdown and

The ratio of fat tissue (fat droplets in yellow; artificially coloured) to muscle mass is reduced in people with newly identified variants of a gene that affects cellular metabolism. Credit: Steve Gschmeissner/Science Photo Library A massive genomic study has linked mutations in a specific gene to an increased proportion of muscle, decreased levels of belly
