Arecent study compared the homo sapiens genome with that of neanderthals. the results of the study indicated that there was a mixing of the two genomes at some period in evolutionary history. what data were discovered that suggested this conclusion?

The genome sequencing showed a similar sequence.

Explanation:

The Neanderthals lived with modern humans until they got killed or disappeared by modern humans as a result of the competition around 10,000-12,000 years ago.

The studies on the sexual life of these two groups show that they used to exchanges their genetic material through sexual reproduction and the gene flow occurred between these two species.

Recent studies have provided the evidence that the 99.7 per cent DNA of the Neanderthal is similar to the modern Human beings and they also showed some homology in the DNA sequences like the language Gene is found on the same chromosome in both the species.

Thus, the genome sequencing showed a similar sequence is a correct answer.
