Her Neanderthal DNA segments are unusually long, as noted above — indicating that her Neanderthal admixture was more recent than most ancient genomes studied to date.

The estimates suggest that the relevant interbreeding events occurred roughly 200 to 250 generations before her own lifetime.

At a generation time of twenty-five to thirty years, 200 to 250 generations corresponds to roughly 5,000 to 7,500 years before her birth.

This means that her great-great-great-times-200-grandparents included Neanderthals — or more precisely, that the population from which she descended had intermixed with Neanderthals roughly 5,000 to 7,500 years before she lived.

In absolute terms, this Neanderthal admixture would have occurred roughly 50,000 to 52,000 years ago — shortly after modern humans first dispersed from Africa and the Levant into Western Asia and potentially southeastern Europe.
