Read our privacy policy A new finding has cast doubt on the theory that ancestors of modern humans interbred with Neanderthals over thousands of years. According to the new evidence, it is unlikely Neanderthals and modern humans ever lived together in the region. That would have provided easily enough time for the Neanderthals to mix their DNA with that of modern humans, which are believed to have colonised Spain more than 10,000 years earlier. But the new research using an improved dating method indicates that the Neanderthal occupation of Spain only lasted until around 45,000 to 50,000 years ago.

In 2010 researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, in Leipzig, published the genome of Homo neanderthalensis, a species known in less progressive days as Neanderthal man. They conclude that sapiens-neanderthalensis crossings occurred several times, but the consequences of only one such hybridisation, shortly before Neanderthals became extinct, 40,000 years ago, remain important today.
