This popular media article on transmission of genes from interbreeding by
different types of monkeys offer some suggestions about whether humans
and Neanderthals interbred and how many of such attempts produced viable
offspring; see:
http://www.livescience.com/25361-monkeys-show-why-it-s-hard-to-prove-ancient-human-interbreeding.html

The research is reported in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology; see:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajpa.22196/abstract

The main point seems to be that if humans and Neanderthals did interbreed,
there weren't many offspring.  Something to think about.

P.S. Out of curiosity, ever wonder who in the Bible was a Neanderthal?
