Neither did the new article cited have ANYTHING to do with when Neanderthal disappeared.
It was a reanalysis of DNA data that proposed that the population that left Africa shared a more recent common ancestor with the Neanderthal population than the populations that stayed behind in Africa.
While of interest, the finding is hardly conclusive; and the authors language says that via their model there was “less” interbreeding that went on - not that it didn’t happen at all.
That is why journalists should have an actual scientist edit their copy before they send it out - besides not really understanding the subject and having a sensationalist agenda - most are absolute idiots.

The cultural barrier was unbreachable. This is what a Neanderthal actually looked like:

The Bible indicates man has only been around for about 6000 years. God may have created something like man way before the "recreation" but so far the proof isn't there IMO. What?? Fossils of modern man(us) have been found that are 50-100,000 years old. No, not a missing link but people who developed agricultural skills starting around 50,000 years ago.

A hobbit and a red headed neanderthal lass?

The same ones who routinely write articles saying that animals “make love”.

Funny you should mention that.. started getting hair on my back (never realized I had any there until I had an itch and reached back to scratch it.. and there was patch.. probably been there for a decade, and I didn’t notice... checked the other side.. one there too :p)..
Wondering how much a wax job would cost here now.. hehe..

You are making the assumption that the sex was consensual.

seems to indicate comes when a society becomes grossly perverted.
Then somewhere there’s got to be some giants running around!

Well, not with each other, and that is the point of this sloppy article. If there was an ancestor out of Africa who gave rise to both Neanderthals and our direct proto-human ancestors, then both Neanderthals and humans would share genes with each other AND with the common ancestor.

Well of course.
Say that we have population A - this population gave rise to all human and all neanderthal populations.
Population A gave rise to population B and C and D and E and F. Populations B and C were closely related, interbred, and shared common ancestry with each other more than either does with D, E and F.
Population B leaves Africa and is the founding population that gave rise to Neanderthal.
Populations C, D, E, and F stay around Africa.
Later population C leaves Africa and is the founding population for all non-African humans. Population D, E and F stay in Africa.
Population C that gave rise to all non-African humans STARTED OUT more closely related to population B, and needed no interbreeding with population B to be more similar.
Population B dies out, leaving only populations C, D, E, and F - the founding populations of all modern human population groups.
The similarity of populations B and C could have come about because they started out more similar due to them sharing a more recent common ancestor. OR it could have come about because there was a bit of interbreeding between populations B and C. OR it could be a combination of both scenarios.

Sure - no actual data supports Neanderthal looking like that - but if that is what floats your boat - go on with your bad self!

It would have been, perhaps, from an advanced Homo erectus, an ancestor found all over the world. These are the ones who gave rise to us...and probably Neanderthal.
