the mtDNA sequences from the nine neandertal specimens that have been analyzed to date ... do not match those found among modern humans, suggesting that little, if any, interbreeding took place. This could be explained if Neanderthal women were exceedingly unappealing, and the only interbreeding that took place was between Neanderthal men and HS women.

Or...if Neanderthal women were GORGEOUS, and HS men killed all the Neanderthal men to take them...but the Neanderthal women decided to kill themselves rather than mate with HS.
Hey, it's another view...
