Most people of non-African ancestry carry about 2% Neanderthal DNA, and researchers report a mirror image pattern with more human DNA on the Neanderthal X chromosome.

A preference for pairings between male Neanderthals and female Homo sapiens may answer the question of why there are "Neanderthal deserts" in human chromosomes.

When ancient humans mated, dad was a Neanderthal, mom was Homo sapiens.

Genomic analysis shows that interbreeding between female Neanderthals and human males was less common than the opposite ...

A study said that Neanderthal men and human women were particularly inclined to mate, a sexual habit that offers insight into the evolution of the modern human genome.

Neanderthal and homo sapiens mated, but it was mostly only the men of the former species with the females of the latter. This explains a major DNA problem that scientists have noticed in the human ...

Humans and Neanderthals cozied up from time to time when they lived in the same areas tens of thousands of years ago. But we don’t know ...

Ancient linkups may have happened more frequently between female humans and male Neanderthals, according to an new genetic analysis.
