Ancient linkups may have happened more frequently between female humans and male Neanderthals, according to an new genetic analysis. Scientists know that Neanderthals and humans mated because there is a small percentage of Neanderthal DNA in most modern humans. But they also know that the Neanderthal DNA is not distributed evenly throughout the human genome.
