Did Neandertals Have Autism? A Short Video

I recently did an interview with Seth Chagi of World of Paleoanthropology on our paper on the roles of Neandertal DNA in autism. The video did well and folks from the community had a number of different questions. So, once again, I’m pairing with Seth to produce some short videos that address that interest. Below is the video on Tiktok or if you’d like to watch it via Youtube you can find it here. Enjoy!
