Discover the shocking Neanderthal secrets revealed by genetic experts! Learn more about our ancient ancestors in this eye-opening video. Mounting evidence suggests that Neanderthals frequently conceived with close relatives. As a matter of fact, when it came to relationships, some Neanderthals preferred to keep things within the family. Indeed, the Neanderthal woman had parents who were half-siblings, double first cousins, or an uncle-niece couple. Several studies have now reported this, citing genetic patterns and bone abnormalities thought to be caused by intra-family flings. This situation might have been normal or abnormal but, intriguingly, though not coming from such close parents, another fossil from a teenage Neanderthal-Denisova hybrid from the same region was also spawned by a similarly small population.
