This empire became the largest land empire in history.

While this “hybrid theory” has been largely abandoned in its stronger forms, over the past twenty years there has been mounting evidence that Neanderthals did interbreed with humans and contribute to the gene pool of Eurasian populations. Duarte et al. (1999) reported the discovery of a possible 25,000 year old Human-Neanderthal hybrid at Abrigo do Lagar Velho on the Iberian Peninsula. Researchers found a young child (3.5-5 years) buried with pierced shell and red ochre…
