      We have traces in the modern population.

      I meant remains of a homind with like 10-50% neanderthal DNA.

      We can get a pretty good time estimate for when the crossbreeding happened with that. Which would tell us when they were interacting.

      We know it happened multiple times, it’s just any remains are rare so we might not find any that close.
