Human DNA recovered from remains found in Europe is revealing our species’ shared history with Neanderthals. The trove is the oldest Homo sapiens DNA ever documented, scientists say.
Prehistoric Hookups: Landmark Studies Pinpoint When Humans and Neanderthals Interbred
Ancient genomes reveal a narrow time window for Neanderthal and human interbreeding, raising new questions about their shared history.

When modern humans first ventured out of Africa, they followed in the footsteps of another human species who dared leave before them.
Neanderthals and humans hooked up for 7,000 years, 50,000-year-old DNA confirms
Analysis of early modern human genomes suggests that Neanderthal DNA was introduced to populations in Europe around 43,500 to 50,500 years ago.
When Neanderthals interbred with ancient humans: Research clarifies timeline of human evolution
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.
Neandertal genes in people today came from hook-ups around 47,000 years ago
Most present-day humans carry a small amount of Neandertal DNA that can be traced back to a single period of interbreeding, two genetic analyses find.
Modern human ancestors and Neanderthals mated during a 7,000-year-long 'pulse,' 2 new studies reveal
