New research suggests the Zagros Mountains of Iran is where Homo sapiens and Homo neanderthalensis interbred.

The two species of humans shared the Persian plateau for tens of thousands of years, before Neanderthals lost their grip on existence.

A single 65,000-year-old Neanderthal tooth, associated with a collection of stone tools, supports the findings.
