Paragraph 1

Early risers are people who wake up early in the . Their body clock causes them to get up while of us are still in deep sleep. Researchers at the University of California said early risers could have some DNA from Neanderthals – our who lived over 40,000 years ago. Neanderthals lived in parts of Europe and Asia. They woke up earlier to hunt for or gather as the sun rose. Researcher Dr Tony Capra said: "At higher it is beneficial to have a body clock that is better able to anticipate and change to match the changing light levels." He added: "Having a 'faster' body clock…makes more likely to rise early."

Now go to   Paragraph 2.
