Novel forensic findings expand our current understanding of human-Neanderthal interbreeding. Researchers from North Carolina State University have identified traces of Neanderthal DNA in modern human genomes in an exploratory study. The study emphasises the significance of facial morphology analysis in deciphering human-Neanderthal interbreeding. These results offer a valuable approach for researchers to gain further insights from a limited fossil record. The study, published in Biology, examine
