Neanderthals and human lived side by side in Middle Eastern caves and even interbred
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 9-29-2012

Neanderthals may have lived side by side with early humans and possibly interbred with them, according to new research.

Stone axes and sharp flint arrowheads of both branches of the human race have been discovered in limestone caves in northern Israel.

The findings, reported in the Times, have led archeologists to believe the two sub-species found harmony in a coastal mountain range that today is in a state of war with its neighbours...

I disagree.

I view this passage in the same way that I see Christians marrying non-Christians, for the same various reasons that people marry.


You disagree, but does,nt the Bible say that in plain words?

I’m convinced our high school football coach was part Neanderthal...

I suspect the author is drunk or on drugs or something. The second word in the story is “may” which is left out the title falsifying the whole idea.

Neanderthals are human and always were, just as cro-magnon was human and fully human, too.

Sons of men were not followers of God. To me, the meaning seems clear. In a nutshell, God followers married nonbelievers.

It happens today and it’s that simple. Why is it necessarily so hard that it was that simple back then too?

Pretty women can get any man to turn his head, even dangerous women and many women will put up with bad men, provided that he is well off.

In before the Helen Thomas photo!

Or would that be the "live neanderthal found" thread?

Sounds all friendly like.

But the reality is we were probably locked in a death-embrace as each species tried to kill the other.

When you see one representation of how Neanderthal might have looked, something in your deepest genetic material shrieks, "RUN OR KILL IT!!!"

They were both stuck in the cave [bomb shelter] together because it was raining hamas rockets outside.

Good point, I was taught in biology long ago that only members of the same species can produce fertile offspring. Two species may be able to produce offspring called hybrids but there is no third generation, the mule is the classic example, there are stories of mules giving birth to live offspring but if it happened there apparently was never a fourth generation. To say that Neanderthals passed down genes to the present day is to say that Neanderthals did not “interbreed with modern humans” it is to say that Neanderthals WERE modern humans, otherwise the offspring would have been infertile hybrids and no genes would have been passed down to the present. Nobody seems to have any desire to get the story straight these days.

I do not see what you are getting at.

The bible says nothing about sons of men in this particular scripture, it said the sons of God married unto the daughters of men.

You are right, pretty women can turn the heads of even godly men.

At any rate i still don,t get what your disagreement is.
