It has long been known that Neanderthals lived alongside early humans and that they exhibited some of the same cultural characteristics. However the reasons for the extinction of this hominid species is still a mystery. It has been suggested that Neanderthals and early humans interbred, and that perhaps they were even absorbed into the human population. An impressive new study now suggests that many modern humans share DNA with Neanderthals.
