The craziest thing for me is that there's a lot of evidence for claiming that Sapiens interbred with other Homos, such as the Neanderthal.

If you’ve seen Star Trek the Original Series it shows you precisely how much humans are into humanoid subspecies. They could be green for all a dude who hasn’t seen a woman in a week could care!

Not a great example; the green women are specifically shown to exert pheromonal control over alien males.

Why is that crazy? Looking at human history, this doesn't come as much of a shock, does it?

Humans do like to fuck.

[gigachad69]

a lot of evidence as in most europeans, eurasians and east asians have some percentage of neanderthal genes in their DNA

Interbred is putting it mildly. More like killed the men and raped all the women. This was repeated again with the Yamnaya from the Caucasus a few millennia ago where they again killed all the men and raped all the women.

How certainly do we actually know that? If the evidence you claim is that there are no Y-chromosomes from other hominids, an alternative explanation could be that hybrids with Y-chromosomes from other hominids did exist, but disappeared gradually over the centuries/millenia either because they were less fit or through pure chance.

Are there any now living people with mt-dna from other hominids?

Having a minority non-autosomal genotype could be an issue as there might be recurring "compatibility problems", given that the autosomal dna would mainly evolve to work with the majority mtdna and ydna.

Isnt neanderthal sapiens. Also, not all modern humans

"sapiens" is our species name. They are Homo neanderthalis, so they are Homo, which is probably what you were intending.
