Hey, they were all humans. Homo sapiens, Homo neanderthalensis, and perhaps other flavors.More likely, the male offspring of male neanderthals and female sapiens either weren’t viable (something in the female sapiens immune system rejecting the fetus) or weren’t fertile (a dead end, reproductively speaking).
Or it meant that neanderthal women had more to give, and “human” (considering both lines are defined human, so a dumb thing to differentiate with) women was what they had to settle with.
…except for people with purely African DNA, that DNA is purely human. Interbreeding with neanderthals occurred in Europe and Asia after homo sapiens had migrated out of Africa.

Because human males raped females even back then. Is this a surprise to anyone?
