This is an excellent discussion from John Hawks on the implications of the #Hsapiens or African influence on #Neanderthal X chromosomes -- 'because a pattern of dispersal of early modern people based on matrilineal kin networks makes a lot of sense' of this data.

This takes us to issues of social structures rather than alt-right horror fantasies of Neanderthal men raping 'our' women.

#Matrilineal groups are open in their recruitment of labour, enabling people with no actual close genetic kin to slot in and join. Skilled Neanderthal hunters could have done very well in matrilineal/matrilocal Homo sapiens camps

'Expansion and dispersal of matrilineal networks is possible when fertility itself is of higher value, when the linguistic and cultural ties around community can be maintained by strong political consensus even as men from differing groups are integrated into the cultural group.'

Hawks could add there 'fertility and labour'. People valued over property for their productive and reproductive power.
