In 2010, scientists made a startling discovery about our past: about 50,000 years ago, Neanderthals interbred with the ancestors of living Europeans and Asians. The findings are further evidence that our genomes contain secrets about our evolution that we might have missed by looking at fossils alone. Today, people who are not of African descent have stretches of genetic material almost identical to Neanderthal DNA, comprising about 2 percent of their entire genomes. Researchers also have found a peculiar pattern in non-Africans: people in China, Japan and other East Asian countries have about 20 percent more Neanderthal DNA than do Europeans.

The building blocks required to achieve success in a business domain and differentiate the company from its competitors: Core domains : The interesting problems. These are the in-house activities the company is performing differently from its competitors and from which it gains its competitive advantage. Generic domains : The solved problems. These are the things all companies are doing in the same way. There is no room or need for innovation here; rather than creating in-house implementations, it’s more cost-effective to adopt \ buy existing solutions. Supporting domains: The problems with obvious solutions. These are the activities the company likely has to implement in-house or outsourced, but that do not provide any competitive advantage. Domain experts are subject matter experts who know all the intricacies of the business that we are going to model and implement in code. In other words, domain experts are knowledge authorities in the software’s business domain. T
