Modern humans did not admix with Neanderthals during their range expansion into Europe.

PLoS biology - 1 Dec 2004

Currat Mathias, Excoffier Laurent

Abstract excerpt

The process by which the Neanderthals were replaced by modern humans between 42,000 and 30,000 before present is still intriguing. Although no Neanderthal mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineage is found to date among several thousands of Europeans and in seven early modern Europeans, interbreeding rates as high as 25% could not be excluded between the two subspecies. In this study, we introduce a realistic model of...
