No offense, wendy1946, but that is a terrible distortion of the current consensus among physical anthropologists.
wendy1946:
I don't really give a rat's ass what anthropologists might think about it.
alexander_busek:
Don't you wish to engage in civil discourse?
On the other hand, I suppose you're right. I mean, after all, what could anthropologists possibly have to say of importance on this matter? We laypersons understand more about fossil bone fragments and DNA and stuff like that, right?
Regards,
The question was whether or not my claim that Neanderthal DNA is typically described as about halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee was reasonable. I documented the claim and noted that anthropologists would not have anything meaningful to say on the subject and I might should have mentioned the fact that anthropology doesn’t have anything to do with DNA studies but I thought that was sort of obvious.
