How was Neanderthals sex life?

Sex with modern humans may have helped drive Neanderthals to extinction.

The evidence that sex between early modern humans and Neanderthals was not a rare event has been mounting up.

Neanderthal DNA has revealed that we humans mated with Neanderthals over thousands of years.

Neanderthals had sex and produced offspring with modern humans, as analysis of an ancient jawbone shows.

Turns Out Neanderthals and early humans had sex way more than we thought.

A fresh analysis of the modern human DNA suggests that our ancestors had sex with their Neanderthal cousins more than a few times throughout their shared history.

It is highly likely sexual relations between humans and Neanderthals were not consensual, and interspecies rape was just another part of prehistoric life.

Did sex with modern humans kill off the Neanderthals? Study claims that interbreeding could have led to a blood disorder in their offspring that helped to drive them to extinction. This would have lowered ‘reproductive success’ and limited number of offspring.

We carry 2 percent of Neanderthals DNA and that influences our propensity to get diabetes, blood clotting or even things like depression.

And we still don’t know whether
