We were close: Science confirms that the Neanderthals had even mated with African populations

Science has for the first time proved that the African people had mated with Neanderthals. These findings have marked a major turn in human history. Previously it was believed that only non-african populations carried Neanderthal genes because of the intersection that took place after a large human migration outside Africa and throughout [...]
Previously it was believed that only non-african populations carried Neanderthal genes because of the intersection that took place after a large human migration outside Africa and around the world about 60,000 years ago.
Recent findings suggest that human and Neanderthal lines are more interlocked than previously thought and tell of events far older about 200,000 years ago.
Our <x0 results show that this story was much more interesting and there were many waves of distribution outside Africa, some of which led to the mix between modern people and Neanderthals that we see in the genomes of all living individuals today”, said Joshua Akey, an evolutionary biologist at Princeton University and the lead author of research./Periscopi/
