Why on earth would we imagine for one second that anyone anywhere (or any when) has been safe from the urges of horny human males? As j.e.b. said -- the interesting thing about the Neanderthals and the Denisovans is that fertile offspring were produced. The fact that the sex occurred can't possibly be news.

We all know that many people (males and females) are attracted to certain body types regardless of personality or level of compatibility...could it be that modern females just found the more muscular neanderthal males more attractive....or vice versa???

It is fascinating to follow the trail of human evolution- especially in and around the Neanderthal concentrated regions. Just read “The Seven Daughter’s of Eve”.
