Analysis of the assembled sequence unequivocally establishes that the Neandertal mtDNA falls outside the variation of extant human mtDNAs, and allows an estimate of the divergence date between the two mtDNA lineages of 660,000 ± 140,000 years.

Thanks decimon.To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127] |

Does this new information push back the date when Noah had Neanderthals on his boat or was Noah a Neanderthal??
This info will prove without a doubt that Al Franken IS a Neanderthal
Uh Yeah, I think I went on a date with her once...
For that Neanderthal to become a member of the US Senate, denotes terrible leadership in the Republican party.
I'm still working on Jonah swallowing the whale. Or was that the whale swallowing Jonah? I know there was some swallowing going on.
Some here will not take lightly to the implication that there have been separate species of humans.
Don't say that near Barney Frank please.
You're just trying to make blam jealous.
“For that Neanderthal to become a member of the US Senate, denotes terrible leadership in the Republican party.”
and a better job by Acorn of fudging the votes without a wimper by the Pubbies.
extremely rare outside Europe......yet in Europe.....where in Europe so they find this plate?
So that means that Neanderthal genes are still carried in Europe. I think I dated him in college. There was a great deal of pubescence....
I don't know. You're referencing SunkenCiv's post.
Man, that is FASCINATING. Thanks for posting.
So far the genetics have come down firmly on the side of Neanderthals and Modern Humans being separate species. I wonder how long the folks relying on morphology to bolster the idea of same species can hold out?
Here is one of the mtDNA genomes from a Neanderthal http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/viewer.fcgi?db=nuccore&id=195972535 and one from a human http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/viewer.fcgi?db=nuccore&id=195592947
they are very similar
No, they need a more recent corpse to get viable DNA.
