Scientists pinpoint when humans had babies with Neanderthals
Modern humans and Neanderthals interbred for thousands of years, influencing the genetic makeup of present-day humans, with significant interactions peaking approximately 47,000 years ago.
Studies pin down exactly when humans and Neanderthals swapped DNA
Neanderthal DNA in modern humans originated from a limited number of individuals during a brief interaction period between 50,500 and 43,000 years ago.
