    What If You Mated With Neanderthals?

    About 50,000 years ago, we shared this planet with different hominids called the Neanderthals. Their species wasn't human, but they weren't far from it either. No longer walking among us, these early cousins of humans died out long ago. But not before they had a chance to, uh, get intimate with some of our ancestors. But if you were to mate with a Neanderthal today, what would your children look like? And how much money would you spend on a date? Watch the full episode here.
