“ It have in mind Neanderthals did n’t whole disappear , ” sound out Jeffrey Long — a genetical anthropologist at the University of New Mexico , whose group guide the analysis — who feels this might help excuse what happened to the neanderthal , who disappeared from the fossil track record approximately 30,000 years ago … . Using projected rates of hereditary mutation and data from the fossil disc , the investigator suggest that the interbreeding happened about 60,000 years ago in the eastern Mediterranean and , more late , about 45,000 twelvemonth ago in eastern Asia . Those two outcome happened after the first H. sapiens had migrated out of Africa , says Long . His group did n’t observe evidence of interbreeding in the genomes of the forward-looking African people included in the field .
