This provides evidence of male:female human:Neanderthal interbreeding, complementing the female:male interbreeding indicated by mitochondrial DNA.Summary: <a href="https://techfixated.com/how-neanderthals-lost-their-y-chromosome-2/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://techfixated.com/how-neanderthals-lost-their-y-chromosome-2/</a><a href="https://floss.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Paleontology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Paleontology</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Genetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Genetics</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Neanderthals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neanderthals</a>
