"Ridiculous."

[djf]

Is this saying that the FoxP2 gene in Europeans is different than the FoxP2 in people of African descent?

There’s a whole lot of conclusions one can come to about that, and most of them are not very politically-correct...

[shibumi]

Yup!

And I know just which part of me it is.

(Wink-wink, nudge-nudge, say-no-more!)

[Lazlo in PA]

His team places the timing of such intimate contacts and family ties early on, probably at the crossroads of the Middle East.

One guy that was born in this general area comes to mind when the Neanderthal thing comes up. He is at least as dumb as a caveman. Just listen to his economic ideas.

I read the article and had the same thoughts...

[sheik yerbouty]

The crucible may have been the Ice Age..

“Neanderthals possessed the gene for language and had sophisticated music,...”

I dig it.

[Semper Mark]

More “sophisticated music”...

Now I *really* dig it!

[Berlin_Freeper]

That would explain the wrap rage.

[beaversmom]

I always thought I was a little hairy for a female.

“You may be part Neanderthal”

My wife tells me that whenever I “cook” a steak just enough to get rid of the moo.

[equaviator]

This article is sure to raise many a unibrow.

[jmcenanly]

In some it is more apparent than in others.


If this is true, can we stop harping on how the Neanderthal were too stupid to survive? Apparently they did, and were able to keep it a secret.

[Rudder]

Neanderthals possessed the gene for language and had sophisticated music, art and tool craftsmanship skills, so they must have not been all that unattractive to modern humans at the time

Guitar-playing, smooth-talking neanderthal, I must have you!

[varmintman]

The Neanderthal was an advbanced ape and his dna was halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee. We could no more interbreed with neanderthals than we could with dogs or cats.

[RoadTest]

We can believe the “scientists” (”You May Be Part Neandertha”l) or we can choose to believe the Creator of man, who has never been known to lie:

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”

[kittymyrib]

Modern man would rather claim apes and Neanderthals as his ancestors than admit that God created man in His image.

This ludicrous “wisdom” is why “God holds them in derision,” as the Psalms say.
