Question

Is it true or false? Although possessing very different cultures and different physical features, it is likely that Neanderthals and Homo sapiens did interbreed to some extent.

Answer 1

This is definitely true!

We know this, because we have found traces of Neanderthal DNA in the human genome - interestingly, only in the Eurasian population. Estimates say that 1 to 4% of Eurasian genes are of Neanderthal origin.

Homo sapiens also interbred with Denisovan species.
