 relationships between Neanderthals and modern humans in Europe. This discu
 ssion has been rich in the archaeological and fossil record for decades\, 
 but has been given a new sharpness by claims from evolutionary genetics an
 d ancient DNA.\n\nA couple of relevant papers are: \n\nEriksson\, A.\, & M

  polymorphism shared between modern human populations and ancient hominins
