Bear in mind Neanderthals did not all carry the exact same Y-DNA and MTDNA. Also, modern humans migrated Out of Africa many. many times with a hybrid modern human found in China and dated 260 000 years. A 200 000 year old Neanderthal found in Germany, carried human DNA. Its very likely that many ancient Neanderthals carried modern human Haplogroups long before the supposedly 70 000 year migration Out of Africa.
DNA taken from Neanderthals shows they had light skin, blonde hair and blue eyes or olive skin, dark hair and eyes depending where they lived.
So you have blonde, blue eyed, white modern Europeans. What are the chances they are not Neanderthal hybrids?
East Asians interbred with the Denisovan twice:

Native Americans carried Denisovan DNA:

The Denisovan probably resembled Mongolians. Europeans have only Neanderthal DNA.
The researchers determined DNA sequences of the neanderthals, but did not know what they had on the Y chromosome!?
We investigate its divergence from orthologous chimpanzee and modern human sequences and find strong support for a model that places the Neandertal lineage as an outgroup to modern human Y chromosomes—including A00, the highly divergent basal haplogroup. We estimate that the time to the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) of Neandertal and modern human Y chromosomes is ∼588 thousand years ago (kya) (95% confidence interval [CI]: 447–806 kya). This is ∼2.1 (95% CI: 1.7–2.9) times longer than the TMRCA of A00 and other extant modern human Y-chromosome lineages.
This rubbish that Europeans developed white skin only 6000 years ago also needs to come to an end. Both Cheddar Man and LaBrana Man were likely South Asian in origin. LaBrana Man carried Haplogroup Y-DNA C6 and its likely Cheddar Man also carried this Haplogroup. Haplogroup C is South Asian in origin.
If Neanderthal genes are still influencing the skin colour and hair colour of modern Eurasians, its likely this goes back to the interbreeding with Neanderthals.
Oldest remains found with blonde hair is dated 15 000 years and the remains were found in Russia. Oldest European with blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin is dated 7700 years and was found in Sweden.
7700 Motala Man:
Have any paternal haplogroups attributed to Neanderthals survived to this day or would their DNA be far too diluted?
When we test Neanderthal remains, what paternal haplogroup shows up?
