Could a Neanderthal and a human mate?
It is also possible that while interbreeding between Neanderthal males and human females could have produced fertile offspring, interbreeding between Neanderthal females and modern human males might not have produced fertile offspring, which would mean that the Neanderthal mtDNA could not be passed down.
How do humans breed?
Humans mate through a process called sexual intercourse. Human reproduction depends on the fertilization of a woman’s ova (egg) by a man’s sperm.
Can a zebra mate with a horse?
A zorse is the offspring of a zebra stallion and a horse mare. It is a zebroid: this term refers to any hybrid equine with zebra ancestry. The zorse is shaped more like a horse than a zebra, but has boldly striped legs and, often, stripes on the body or neck. Like most other interspecies hybrids, it is infertile.
