Modern humans and Neandertals coexisted
about 30000–40000 years ago. Recent studies
indicate that Neandertals did not contribute
mitochondrial DNA to modern humans. At two
different locations about 2000km apart,
mtDNA from Neandertal specimens at Feldhofer
Cave, Neandertal, and Mezmaiskaya Cave
in the northern Caucasus showed only 3.48%
sequence divergence.
