“””Research shows they contributed between 1 and 4 percent of their genetic material to the people of Asia and Europe.”””

DID ANYONE CATCH THIS? They’ve denied this for years!!!! NOW it’s coming out, even in an article about that doesn’t insist they are grunting beats. IIIIiiiiiiinnnnnteresting!

Proudly 1-4% Neanderthal!!!

Neanderthals were just very old humans. Jaws and noses and forehead bones keep growing and getting thicker/more prominent as you age.

Letting the imagination fly...

Since this is Italy and the origin of such groups as Etruscan is unknown...

Just stirring the sauce pan a bit with that.

Please don’t tell my wife about this article.

[Secret Agent Man]

I think she’ll see the evidence for herself, if I read your post right. ;)

Ah, the old Shreeve’s port.

[TexasFreeper2009]

There was a major study released in the last 6 months to a year that found that all races but blacks have between 1 and 4% Neanderthal DNA.

Neanderthals went 250,000 years with little advancement. Now all of a sudden a guy comes up with all this stuff in a manner kind of like they came up with the theories of global warming.

The controversy rages on about which discovery killed of the neanderthals.

Beer, masturbation or golf.

Thousands of years ago, southern Italy experienced a shift in climate, becoming increasingly open and arid, said Riel-Salvatore. Neanderthals living there faced a stark choice of adapting or dying out. The evidence suggests they began using darts or arrows to hunt smaller game to supplement the increasingly scarce larger mammals they traditionally hunted.

NO, this can’t be true.

There can not have been a major climate shift because everybody didn’t die.

When climate shifts happen, people don’t adapt, everybody dies. Ask Al Gore.

I sure wasn’t bier. And I don’t play golf.

FLY BABY FLY!

At least one or two gorillas which have learned deaf signs check out as having IQs in the 100 - 110 range i.e. adequate for half of American jobs. You could probably replace Bork Obunga with a gorilla... There’s no reason to think Neanderthals would have been stupid.

Humans began walking upright with the invention of the wheelbarrow. Those cultures that did not have the wheelbarrow kept falling on their faces. They developed brow ridges to absorb the shock. They soon thereafter developed the wheeled suitcase, which ended the forward toppling problem, but left them rather dull-looking anyway.

It's all in how one interprets the strata. The Southern Italian Neanderthals did not invent the pizza. They had them delivered, little suspecting at the time that those long Neanderthal arms were perfect for the pizza twirl and flip.

I haven't looked this over yet. Too tired. Just passing it along.

Genoma

I'm homo erectus , myself.

It’s was when I ordered the duck breast with mango salsa that she caught on.

Homo sapiens neanderthalus sapiens, here.
