I thought that by now we had a very good idea on how extensive the level of mixing between modern humans and Neanderthals thanks to dna studies. The Homo sapiens that got out of Africa interbred with them at such an early stage that all Europeans and Asians have some Neanderthal admixture in them. Asians have more because their ancestors mixed with Neanderthals again (after european and Asian lineages split) and finally south eastern Asians plus oceanic people also have Denisovan admixture.

Yes, it occurred in Homo Sapien Sapien societies but not necessarily out of a biological necessity. Generally, men hunted and women foraged, but roles could and would be shared when and if needed. The fact that modern humans could survive on scavenged food gave modern humans some wiggle room to avoid taking unnecessary hunting risks. Foraging (and pre-pubescent children having more time to learn foraging skills), typically done by women instead of men, would have therefore been an essential factor to the long-term success of Homo Sapien Sapiens over other hominids.

No, it is in no way like a mule. Mules are not fertile. Horses and donkeys are barely fertile together, they can make the mule but a mule can’t make more mules. Neanderthals and Homo sapiens can fully interbreed, with fertile offspring. Hence why we can see Neanderthal dna in ours.

Did Neanderthals also "start" in Africa and migrate out?

Because the term species was introduced before we understood genetics that well.

Wait but homo sapien sapien both man and woman hunted too

The fact that we have a female Neanderthal genetic inheritance, but a male one leads strong credence to this observation.

Because science is vague?

Also doesn't like 1-2% of the population have traces of Neanderthal dna? Kinda obvious at that point lol

>The concept of species seems vague and not very scientific.

Scientists know this.

Okay, so you know how science works right? Facts aren't based on assumptions. But you apparently know more than the experts, so go ahead, give your version of events. I'll wait here for your sources.

There's a small fringe 'movement' of sorts to remove non-Germanic words from English. This manner of speaking and writing is referred to as "Anglish." A telephone becomes a "farspeaker," a dictionary becomes a "wordbook," and so on. There are some interesting discussions about all this over at r/anglish

Could be very similar to the concept of a mule, these offspring would be called hybrids:

> The mule is a domestic equine hybrid between a donkey and a horse. It is the offspring of a male donkey (a jack) and a female horse (a mare).[1][2] The horse and the donkey are different species, with different numbers of chromosomes; of the two possible first-generation hybrids between them, the mule is easier to obtain and more common than the hinny, which is the offspring of a female donkey (a jenny) and a male horse (a stallion).
