 GJ> I do know that in Europe, at least, there was quite an overlap

Google up "Neanderthal + Scottish + redheads" and you will find some
interesting speculative articles like:

Redheads 'are neanderthal'

RED hair may be the genetic legacy of Neanderthals, scientists
believe. Researchers say that the so-called "ginger gene" which
gives people red hair, fair skin and freckles could be up to 100,000
years old.

They claim that their discovery points to the gene having originated
in Neanderthal man who lived in Europe for 200,000 years before Homo
sapien settlers, the ancestors of modern man, arrived from Africa
about 40,000 years ago.

"An explanation is that it comes from Neanderthals." It is estimated
that at least 10 per cent of Scots have red hair and a further 40
per cent carry the gene responsible, which could account for their
once fearsome reputation as fighters.

The two species overlapped for a period of time and the Oxford
research appears to suggests that they must have successfully
interbred for the "ginger gene" to survive. Neanderthals became
extinct about 28,000 years ago
