Neanderthal ping.
I would hope the men bred with women.
You took the words right out of my mouf.
Maybe dere dnoses wer stuffed?
Back in the days when Irish Setters lived in fear?
Sorry, this is stupid. Even if you BELIEVED that they had proven that the two races weren’t just differences in genetic variation, that doesn’t show they didn’t interbreed, just that the amount of interbreeding was insignificant enough to prevent it from showing up in the small collection of fossils we can examine.
on the other hand, it does make the premise of the show “cave men” a bit less plausible :-)
At least one did. How else does one explain Chelsea?
Poor fellow. His evidence doesn't support his conclusion.
BS, just look at carvel???
Analysing a gene involved in the production of the skin pigment melanin, the team concluded that Neanderthals were predominantly fair-skinned and red-headed - like many people in countries like Ireland, Scotland and Wales today. This was consistent with past studies which however suggested that inter-breeding could have produced today's traits - triggering vocal reactions in the countries concerned.Yeah, and the Vikings never sacked, raped, pillaged, or burned anything. Oh yeah, and there were no slaves in ancient Egypt. More political seduction of the sciences.
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]

No such thing as a NILF?
Ummmmm, Webb Hubble?
Ummmmm, it's waht you get when two crooked layers breed...
I don’t believe this study proves that conclusion.
My dog is fearless ;-)
Considering sheep, goats, camels, horses, cows, dogs, chickens?!?, vacuum cleaners, and at least one case of a penguin, these guys are shading the truth.
Just because this batch of bones didn't show mixed genes doesn't mean that there was a whole lot of 'breeding' going on.
(I once even had one guy come into the ER with a 'penile fracture' caused by attempting to 'breed' with a knothole in a fence board!)
So, what they are saying is that from a few bones they found in Italy and Spain makes it a proven fact that Neanderthal and Humans did not interbreed.
I find that hard to believe!
A: Nobody knows. There are some things even a rat won't do.
