Can you provide a citation for your first point? I don't see how Haldane's Rule would support that, but maybe I am missing something.

I am at home tapping away on my iPad so i don't have access to my papers, but it is known there are no Neanderthal genes on the X chromosome. This is what is expected with Haldane's rule where one cross between species is fertile and the other infertile.

I think you've got that backwards. If there were no Neanderthal genes on the x chromosome, then only men would have Neanderthal genes.
