SURVIVAL OF THE HORNIEST

that homo sapiens not only interbred with Neanderthals in Eurasia, they also had sex with several species of our ancestors across the African continent. And they did it often.

"We found evidence for hybridization between modern humans and archaic forms in Africa. It looks like our lineage has always exchanged genes with their more morphologically diverged neighbors,"

I was quite pleased to hear when it was finally being admitted that Neanderthal DNA was present in human DNA. I have met people who wouldn't look out of place in a museum display of early European cave living, quite frankly, but my biggest reason for thinking it unlikely that we didn't have mixed DNA was twofold. The first is that as a species we seem to have great morphological variation and yet we are highly inter-fertile like dogs. The other fact is that the human male will hump anything that fails to get away. If there was the biological possibility of gene flow then human male behaviours would be guaranteed to make it happen.

Neanderthal DNA is about 4 percent for both Caucasian and Asian population, what is interesting is that it's not the same haplotypes in both populations.
