There is evidence of somewhat selective interbreeding. mtDNA from Neanderthals is absent in modern humans. Because mtDNA is carried only by females, interbreeding may have occurred mainly between Neanderthal males and modern females (Krings, Stone, Schmitz, Krainitzki, Stoneking, & Pääbo, 1997).
We show that the Mousterian [the Neanderthal tool-making tradition] ended by 41,030–39,260 calibrated years BP (at 95.4% probability) across Europe. We also demonstrate that succeeding 'transitional' archaeological industries, one of which has been linked with Neanderthals (Châtelperronian), end at a similar time.
Few events of European prehistory are more important than the transition from ancient to modern humans about 40,000 years ago, a period that unfortunately lies near the limit of radiocarbon dating. This paper shows that as many as 70 per cent of the oldest radiocarbon dates in the literature may be too young, due to contamination by modern carbon.
The direct date of the fossil (39,700±1,100 14C BP) is in good agreement with the probability distribution function, indicating at a high level of probability that Neanderthals did not survive at Mezmaiskaya Cave after 39 kya cal BP. [...] This challenges previous claims for late Neanderthal survival in the northern Caucasus. [...] Our results confirm the lack of reliably dated Neanderthal fossils younger than ≈40 kya cal BP in any other region of Western Eurasia, including the Caucasus.

Goyet provides the first unambiguous evidence of Neandertal cannibalism in Northern Europe and given the dates obtained on the Neandertal remains, it is most likely that they were processed by their fellow Neandertals as no modern humans are known to have been in the region at the time. However, the available data make it impossible to determine whether the modifications observed on the Neandertal skeletal material represent symbolic practices or simply result from the processing of immediately available sources of food.
We have shown that the observed low level of archaic coverage on chromosome X could be explained merely by a reduction in the effect of heterosis and sex-biases in the introgression events, without involving a more complex model with hybrid incompatibilities. Our work also suggests that negative selection was likely acting on archaic variants, and provides an appropriate set of null models for evaluating positive selection on introgressed segments on chromosome X.
