Conversely, significant rates of modern human gene flow into Neanderthals occurred—of the three examined lineages—for only the Altai Neanderthal (0.1–2.1%), suggesting that modern human gene flow into Neanderthals mainly took place after the separation of the Altai Neanderthals from the El Sidrón and Vindija Neanderthals that occurred ...

The earliest indication of Upper Palaeolithic modern human migration into Europe is a series of modern human teeth with Neronian industry stone tools found at Mandrin Cave, Malataverne in France, dated in 2022 to between 56,800 and 51,700 years ago.
Two new studies have helped narrow down the time during which Neanderthals interbred with modern humans to a period starting about 50,500 years ago and lasting over seven millennia.
The Neanderthals were the first human species to permanently occupy Europe. [42] While pre-Neanderthals are mostly identified around Western Europe, classic Neanderthals are recorded across Europe as well as Southwest [31] and Central Asia, up to the Altai Mountains in southern Siberia. Pre- and early Neanderthals seem to have continuously ...
The Neanderthal DNA found in modern human genomes has long raised questions about ancient interbreeding. New studies offer a timeline of when that occurred and when ancient humans left Africa.

Those first modern humans that had interbred with Neanderthals and lived alongside them died out completely in Europe 40,000 years ago - but not before their offspring had spread further out into ...
