DNA evidence suggests homo sapiens women more often paired with Neanderthal men, helping explain why Neanderthal genes are rare.
Geneticists have a better understanding of how prehistoric pairings unfolded, with new research suggesting they were mostly between male Neanderthals and female humans.
A new study in Science suggests Neanderthal men and modern human women interbred more often than assumed, reshaping theories about our DNA. But what drove those ancient pairings remains uncertain.
When ancient humans mated, dad was a Neanderthal, mom was Homo sapiens.
