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.
