And how do you know interbreeding between homo sapien and Neanderthal occurred in the form of conquering homo sapiens raping neanderthal women?
The pure Homo sapiens sapiens left Africa, reached Near East where they interbred with Neanderthals and ceased being pure Homo sapiens sapiens.
Those Homo sapiens sapiens who did not leave Africa remained pure and uncontaminated.
As to how we know the way the interbreeding happened, we have on the one hand science informing us that the gene flow went one way: from Neanderthals to Hss and on the other hand we have every culture and every people on earth insisting that the gods were raping the non-god women.

You are missing the point!
Up to approximately 50,000 years ago it was only evolution at play. Both Hss and Neanderthals (Homo sapiens Neanderthalensis) were products of natural evolution while we, moderns, are the product of a forced breeding, a sort of creation we can say. We are hybrids, and as such we wouldn’t be here if it were not for the need Homo sapiens sapiens had to increase quickly their population.
Uncontaminated? How do you know what the linear ancesters of African HS Before encounter with Neanderthals bred with? If hss in africa bred with homo erectus we wouldn't be capable of knowing since we have no erectus genome to enlighten us about what the possible evidence might be. Based on what do you arbitrarily define one particular intermediate state of a continuously Evolving and admixing gene pool to be the " pure" state? There is no such thing as purity in any gene pool, human or otherwise, every gene pool is made solely of changing mixture of contamination and mutations picked along the way, nothing else. To say one particular mixture of contaminations constitutes purity while a slightly different mixture does not, is silliness.
And as to rape fantasy, since when is contemporay myth fantasy a guide to biological reality several tens of thousands of years ago?
