By examining variations in Neanderthal ancestry across different times and locations, they estimated the timing and duration of interbreeding events. For example, a modern human jaw from 37,000 to 42,000 years ago found in Romania contains Neanderthal DNA not present in other modern genomes, suggesting isolated interbreeding events.

Despite their wide geographic distribution, genetic evidence shows that eastern and western Eurasian aurochs populations share recent common ancestry, likely stemming from a southern Asian migration around 100,000 years ago. Interestingly, remnants of earlier ancestry persisted in European populations, suggesting a blend of genetic lineages.
