You’re saying the females of neanderthal species would be too repugnant for the male of the homo sapien species.

I’ll buy that.

However, since the data shows that the mitochondria didn’t change—what that means is that it was male neanderthal that interbred with homo sapien females.

They also place the interbreeding +-125,000 years ago in the middle east

That’s entirely possible. All that would take would be one battle between homo sapiens and neanderthals in which the neanderthals won and killed the homo sapien males. In the middle east the neanderthals coexisted with the homo sapiens according to the data up until 50,000 years ago. That puts them in the same area as homo sapiens for at least 75000 years. That leaves plenty of time for a neanderthal male to get lucky.

There are two reasons for rejecting that, either of which alone would suffice.

Having that happen 125K years ago would be well prior to the recent bottleneck; all humans would have the Neanderthal genes, and not just Asians and Caucasians.

Two, what that would have to involve, would be some Neanderthal male kidnapping and raping a human woman and then, rather than cooking and eating her (as usual)keeping her alive long enough to bear a cross-species child and then somehow raising that freak child to be old enough to breed back into human populations and somehow trick the humans into not immediately killing all of the crossspecies freaks and freaklets involved in all of that.

In real life of course, the original woman would either be cooked and eaten when the Neanderthal male was finished with her or killed by the Neanderthal females the first time her new owner left her alone for fifteen secondes...

Use your head, this **** is an evolutionite fairytale.
