If only based on typical human behaviour: Probably both. There's always someone that's into something a bit different, so if Sapiens and Neaderthals intermixed sufficiently, there'll always be some couple that gets it on. Hell, there's people that fuck dogs (and dogs that try to fuck people). If dogs had been capable of consenting, I'm absolutely positive that some consenting human/dog couple would exist. I would say that consenting inter-species couples would have been inevitable given enough mixing of the groups.

Then there's also the long history of sexual violence in conflicts. Sapiens and Neanderthals were competing for resources, so there's bound to have been tribal conflict at some point. Just based on how humans behave in that kind of situation, it's pretty much guaranteed that people were raped during those conflicts.

I know some vegans who are going to be very upset with this point of view.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but it seems that you ae implying that vegans are zoophillic. Veganism ≠ beastiality.

no, I'm making a reference to a shitpost that was made earlier this week where it brought attention to bestiality laws in conjunction with animal husbandry/breeding on farms.

the original image was a repost of a repost where someone made a catty comment about vegans.

the uproar was immense and caused the post to spill over to vegan communities where they clutched their pearls at the commentary that wasn't even made by anyone on Lemmy and proceeded to raid the shitpost community.

the comments were a disaster and the entire thread was quickly overrun by veganistic puritans who just wanted a flame war.

it was honestly the most hilarious thing I ever saw on here.

post looks to be deleted now though.
