Sex and Cohabitation Among Early Humans: Anthropological and Genetic  Evidence for Interbreeding Among Early Humans explores the available  information regarding interbreeding among different ancestral human  species. In addition, it reviews evidence in support of cohabitation as  well as cultural and technological interactions and exchanges among  early humans, particularly Neanderthal-sapiens interactions. The fields  of archaeology, anthropology, genetics, linguistics and molecular  evolution have provided a wealth of information on the complex processes  involved in human evolution.
