I thought I had touched on this but the first place Neanderthal and Sapiens fossils are found together in the same time frame is Palestine. It is thought the "first" encounter occured there. Many good finds come from Iran and other areas of the middle east. The mountain caves of that region would seem to be a great habitats for both Sapiens and Neanderthals.
