So now we’ll know if red hair really did come from Neanderthals.

[Desron13]

"Researchers said the new genetic sequencing reveals that Neanderthals had fewer evolutionary changes than Homo Sapiens, which may have made natural selection less effective."

Hmmm... One would hope, but has anyone mapped the Democratic genome and compared it to Neanderthals? I suspect some disturbing similarities may emerge. ;-)

Scientists map mitochondrial DNA of prehistoric Neanderthal

What other (than prehistoric) kinds of neanderthals were there??

[NonValueAdded]

Theoretically then they could identify the modern day straight line female descendant since the mitochondrial DNA is passed down exclusively by the mother.

...a Neanderthal man's skeleton...

You see one Neanderthal, you've seen them all.

Like the Neanderthals, I’m speechless.

Mitochondrial DNA

[Mercat]

I met a woman while we were on vacation who has red hair and brown eyes and she claims that all people with red hair and brown eyes are all descended from the same family in a German village. She may have mentioned the village but I forget. Anyway, we talked about the ginger gene. She had never heard of that theory.

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve

Frayer'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]

Let me know when they map the DNA of a historic one.

If they need help finding some, I’ll be glad to point them towards some likely candidates, both living & dead...or at least dead from the @$$-up.
