Lord only knows how the dispersement went.

[Aevery_Freeman]

The "Out of Africa" narrative will continue to be pressed just as Anthropogenic Climate Change has been - with just as much evidence.

Whites are of Neanderthal origins.

Interesting!

Lately, I’ve read that Europeans, especially Northern Europeans, have more Neanderthal genes that was previously though. Also, that the Neanderthal’s were a lot more intelligent than is portrayed in popular culture. And, frankly, when I visited Scandanavia, I did see some men who could probably pass for Neanderthal.

That headline reminds me of the mining operation that put a Chinese man in charge of supplies.

After a couple of days they started wondering where he was. Then when they least expected it, he jumped out of the mine and yelled “Supplies!”.

Neanderthals came from Homo Erectus which came from Africa originally. And yes white folks came from them and the blend with later out of africa peoples.

People with African ancestry actually have close to 0.5 percent Neanderthal DNA in their genome. The study also found that Neanderthal DNA makes up roughly 1.7 and 1.8 percent of the European and Asian genomes, respectively.

23 and me tells me I have ~2% Neanderthal blood.

What happened to the Neanderthals? The africans shot them.

Monday we a leaving for Harz Mountains and will be exploring caves where Neanderthals lived.

Archaeologists have uncovered a 51,000-year-old engraved giant deer phalanx in a cave in the Harz Mountains, Germany. The find, which came from an apparent Middle Paleolithic context that was linked to Neanderthals, demonstrates that conceptual imagination, as a prerequisite to compose individual lines into a coherent design, was present in our evolutionary cousins.

What happened to the Neanderthals?

---

They stopped breeding due to Neanderthal guilt.

[Tax-chick]

Very interesting.

[irishjuggler]

Well, then I’ll hypothesize that you’re smart. I remember from anthropology class in college that Neanderthal brains were approx. 6% larger than the current human average.

Then there was Piltdown Man. You've got to admire the con man who "discovered" Piltdown Man for a keen sense of humor. He was knighted, a celebrity for decades and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

The "scientific community" doesn't like to talk much about him anymore for some reason. Why do you suppose that is?

The migration map at source is nonsensical from a POV with a broad overview of the sciences (rather than the myopia of their narrow, biased field of study).

It discredits their analysis wholesale.
