A recent scientific study indicates that human sexual encounters with Neanderthals resulted in increased genetic abilities to fight off disease and illness. This addition to our genetic structure occurred thousands of years ago.
Neanderthals died off about 30,000 years ago. They and the Denisovans shared a common ancestor with modern humans about 400,000 years ago.
The human body has undergone many changes and modifications in response to environmental pressures (people born today still bear the antibodies of the survivors of the plagues which decimated Europe in the 1300s). The obvious conclusion to be drawn from this study is to engage in sex as often as possible and with as many different people as possible. Your future progeny surviving medical apocalypses depends upon it.Modern humans eclipsed these ancient cousins when our contemporaries began expanding into Asia and Europe from Africa about 65,000 years ago.
Who knew that science could be so much fun.
