Humans interbred with Neanderthals 2 lakh years ago: Study
A study of Neanderthal fossil DNA has revealed that Eurasian early humans interbred with human ancestors from Africa over 2.2 lakh years ago. There's enough evidence that modern humans mixed with Neanderthals 50,000 years ago, scientists said. However, finding human DNA in the fossil suggests that their migration from Africa, which resulted in mating with Europeans, occurred earlier than thought.
