It is important to know that this is not random introgression. en.wikipedia.org

Introgression lines allow the study of quantitative trait loci, but also the creation of new varieties by introducing exotic traits. en.wikipedia.org

However, they also stated that the study didn't rule out archaic introgression to modern humans. en.wikipedia.org

Genes can also flow back into the distinct populations through interbreeding between hybrids and parental (non-hybrid) individuals (introgression). en.wikipedia.org

Another important example of introgression has been observed in butterfly mimicry. en.wikipedia.org

Recent genetic studies have largely supported this, confirming some previously suspected reticulate evolution due to past hybridisation and introgression events between the groups. en.wikipedia.org

While some degree of gene flow occurs in the course of normal evolution, hybridization with or without introgression may threaten a rare species' existence. en.wikipedia.org

This may result in gene flow between the two populations because of introgression. en.wikipedia.org

These are important to investigate the nature of the co-existence and barriers to introgression of genetic material. en.wikipedia.org

Frequent hybridization and high levels of introgression have caused different species in the same populations to share up to 50% of their genetic information. en.wikipedia.org
