Neanderthal Genome Study...
#3
RE: Neanderthal Genome Study...
Possible that the contact was extremely limited. Estimate of HNS populations from Spain to the Crimea run in the region of 15,000.
How many "modern humans" could have penetrated that far that fast?

Also possible that there was conflict between the groups and HNS men were killed while the women were taken prisoner. Again, very small scale warfare.

Also possible that the genetic overlap is the legacy of a common ancestor to both groups. I see Homo Erectus as a prime suspect in that one.

It will keep the scientists busy looking for answers. After all, unlike theistic shitwits they don't think they already have all the answers.
