A blow to evolution?

Most interesting.

The problem here would be why did the Neanderthals die out, without competition or aggression, from Homo Sapiens?

The liberals will not like the idea that humans and Neanderthals did not have sex.

'Reich's team did not find any proof that Neanderthals ever mated with the ancestors of modern Europeans specifically. Yet Reich says that new, more sensitive methods for detecting interbreeding, as well as genome sequences from late Neanderthals could change that conclusion. "Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence," he says.'

The key sentence "Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence,"

Interesting, but I have my doubts that they didn’t co-exist.

So, if humans came “up out of Africa”, and the Neanderthals were already in Europe, then where the hell did the Neanderthals come from?

The Basic Non Evolution of Modern Man

Crap about humans being related to any hominids other than via similar design remains crap no matter how often it is repeated. Neanderthal DNA was halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee; we could no more interbreed with them than we could with horses, and we are not descended from them, and all other hominids were FURTHER removed from us THAN the Neanderthal.

Too-far-removed-to-be-descended-from-via-evolution is a transitive relationship. There is nothing on this planet we could be descended from via any process resembling evolution.

Perhaps humans departing Africa encountered resident Neanderthals in the Middle East.

This is a joke, right?

Reading the fossil record is akin to reading a book with most of the pages torn out. The shared DNA suggests more rather than less contact but the questions are where and when.

Did Neanderthal and Homo Sapien ever meet? All I can say is look at almost any white NFL offensive lineman, case closed.

Arnold Schwarzeneggar definitely has some Neanderthal in him.
