Genetic analysis of X chromosomes from both Neanderthal and modern human samples
Comparative studies to identify mating patterns and biases
Examination of genetic evidence to uncover historical interbreeding
Identified significant genetic markers indicating mating bias favoring modern human females
Demonstrated the presence of Neanderthal X chromosomes in modern human populations
Provided insight into the genetic legacy of interbreeding between the two groups
