What do we know about the Neanderthals?
Modern human DNA may have made up a surprisingly large

has 2.5% to 3.7% of the Neanderthal genome.”

Some think that that
us and the Neanderthals "shared a long history of exchanging
individuals." that exceed 500 000 years.
The timing of this
is clearly wrong,
