The date of interbreeding between Neandertals and modern humans.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jan 2012

Sankararaman Sriram, Patterson Nick, Li Heng, Pääbo Svante, Reich David

Abstract excerpt

Comparisons of DNA sequences between Neandertals and present-day humans have shown that Neandertals share more genetic variants with non-Africans than with Africans. This could be due to interbreeding between Neandertals and modern humans when the two groups met subsequent to the emergence of modern humans outside Africa. However, it could also be due to population structure that antedates the origin of...
