Expert Solution
Step 1

Introduction:

Neanderthals were a species of human that lived in Europe and Asia during the Pleistocene epoch, between approximately 400,000 and 40,000 years ago. They were closely related to modern humans, and DNA evidence suggests that they interbred with our ancestors, contributing to the gene pool of modern non-African populations.
