I was looking at the DNA of different Paleolithic cultures when I noticed that early Paleolithic males in Europe were from haplogroup C which I understand is mostly Aboriginal & widely found among Australian Aboriginals.
And the late Paleolithic males in Europe were Cro-Magnons from haplogroup I which is widely found among Scandinavians.
However both the Aboriginal & Cro-Magnon females shared the exact same haplogroups mainly (U2 ,U5 & U8) , so was there some sort of interbreeding between Cro-magnon males and Aboriginal females?
Up to 46% of Aboriginal Australian males carried either basal C* (C-M130*), C1b2b* (C-M347*) or C1b2b1 (C-M210), before contact with and significant immigration by Europeans, according to a 2015 study by Nagle et al.
