Of course Humans mated with Neanderthal women. They were easy and desperate. Kinda on the dumb side too so they didn't complain about Friday Night Football or the fact that we didn't take out the garbage.
Could it just be they are jumping to conclusions and there are other factors that could cause them to appear to have mated - factors they are not taking into account?

It's also accepted that Neanderthals were as varied as modern man with regards to hair and skin color. Not all were blonde, redheads etc etc etc some were brunettes and possibly not that fair skinned. I think that all depended on their diets and locations. Not all Neanderthal remains were found in colder regions
There have been some found as far south from their well established regions as Israel

It is though pretty much accepted that those southerly migrations occurred during periods of colder climates, making areas such as Israel more temperately suited to them.

The gene mutations could also account for the red haired Chinese mummies found and the infamous red hair of Jewish peoples.

Have you researched the Denisovian's possible contributions?

The Chinese mummies are very often hidden from any outside research. The information we do have is limited. I think they all should be tested for such evidence. Does it really seem possible that the Denisovian line made it all the way to the Melanesian yet left no sign in between the two locations?

Which Chinese mummies are you referring to? I presume not the Tarim ones, they would be far too recent to be of significance...could you provide me with a link please.
Otherwise, the evidence is bound to be scant due to the lack of structured burials, until that point, bodies were presumably prey to carrion scavengers as well as the elements. It is only when we are lucky enough to find a cave in or similar event that we have enough to work with to gain any sense of the picture.

As far as a link goes, this is my own theory and question. I'm postulating here. Not making any attempts of point of fact.

Why would there be any need to?
The mummies were from different geographical locations for starters and do not represent a single homogenous group,
secondly, given human movements prior to that, it wouldn't actually tell us anything,
and with that in mind, thirdly it would cost a fortune that could be better spent elsewhere.
