The study raises an interesting point that is worth discussing. However, there are aspects that are not mentioned and that could be interesting to address.
An alternative explanation could be that there were few women in the last Neanderthal groups, which forced greater mobility, and in that mobility, Sapiens women may have had a greater relationship with Neanderthals. We must not forget the example of Sidrón, where a group of Neanderthals appear with males related to each other by close kinship, unlike the three women, who apparently have no genetic relationship with the rest of the group.
