多年来，杂交在人类进化中发生的可能性一直存在争议。塔特索尔和施瓦茨指出了解决这场争论的核心问题之一，即“没有人知道尼安德特人/现代人的杂交在理论上可能是什么样子，也很少有人敢在实践中提出任何特定的已知化石代表这样的杂交。（1：7117）此外，虽然分子数据被证明对于表征杂交区越来越有用，但表型用于此目的的效用尚不清楚。(2)在这里，我解决这些问题，讨论了理论上和实验上衍生的期望是什么混合形态看起来像，重点是杂交灵长类动物的骨架，并考虑人类化石记录。
For many years, the likelihood that hybridization occurred in human evolution has been debated. Tattersall and Schwartz pointed out one of the core problems with resolving this debate, namely "that nobody has any idea what a Neanderthal/modern human hybrid might look like in theory, and few have dared to suggest in practice that any particular known fossil represents such a hybrid.(1:7117) Moreover, while molecular data is proving increasingly useful for characterising hybrid zones, the utility of the phenotype for this purpose is not clear.(2) Here I address these issues, discussing both theoretical and empirically-derived expectations for what hybrid morphology looks like, with an emphasis on the skeleton of hybrid primates, and consideration of the hominin fossil record.
