Iggle, you may find this interesting regarding neanderthals.
AI is going to help immensely with genetic research. Pretty interesting stuff.

Oh, Neanderthals didn't go extinct. So, that's how they got that guy for the Geico commercial.

Yes, and Fetterman.

That is interesting, thanks.
My understanding of ML is that you need a huge volume of data to succeed. While each individual genome contains 25,000 genes, the actual stack of decoded Neanderthal genomes is pretty small. So, the data seems to have a large surface area but is shallow. I wonder if the former allows them to get around the latter in ML?
That's kinda my take as well.
I think where they are using it here is in the pattern analysis capabilities where ML/AI is much better than humans. Like where we've used it to find archeological sites to explore.
