They have been extinct for 30,000 years, but a small part of the Neanderthals lives on in the DNA of every person with ancestors outside Africa.
The genetic code of Neanderthal Man has revealed that Homo sapiens mated with our closest evolutionary relatives soon after migrating out of Africa, leaving traces that can still be detected in human DNA.
A comparison of the genomes of the two human species has shown that between 1 and 4 per cent of the DNA of modern non-Africans has a Neanderthal origin, while no Neanderthal genes can be detected in Africans today.
Our ancestors couldn't resist the charms of the Neanderthals tens of thousands of years ago, according to the Daily Mail.
The team - which publishes its findings in the journal Science - discovered that up to 4% of the DNA of people living in some parts of the world comes from Neanderthals.
No doubt a tour of some UK streets on a Friday and Saturday night would have revealed a far higher percentage than that...
