A study reveals a fascinating genetic connection between modern early risers and their ancient Neanderthal and Denisovan ancestors, suggesting that our sleep patterns might be influenced by the genes.

People who are early risers are more likely to carry certain Neanderthal and Denisovan genes that control circadian rhythm - our body's natural cycles that include sleep and wakefulness.
Hundreds of genetic variants carried by Neanderthals and Denisovans are shared by people who like to get up early.
Morning person? That could be thanks to Neanderthal genes, scientists say.
