Who they are
Johannes Krause coauthored the international team’s 2010 draft Neanderthal genome paper. The study compared ancient sequences with present-day human genomes and tested population relationships, including evidence of interbreeding. His profile recognizes a contributor to a large collaboration; the byline does not by itself assign him every laboratory or analytical step.
He belongs to the timeline’s transition from fossil comparison alone to genomic evidence about human ancestry.

A Draft Sequence of the Neandertal Genome
The international team compares a draft Neandertal genome with sampled present-day humans. Patterns in those comparisons support an inference of gene flow into ancestors of non-African populations.
