No one knows what happened when we, Homo sapiens, first encountered the Neanderthals. But we know we met.

We know that for thousands of years we lived side by side in Europe and Asia. And we know we had children together. So you’re probably carrying around a bit of Neanderthal DNA.

Kind of cool to be part Neanderthal, don’t you think? It’s not as strange an idea as you might think.
