Yeah...I imagine we wiped them out as soon our ancestors got to Europe.

Earlier than who thought? Not me; I never thought about them at all.

I once had a business partner who was a Neanderthal.

Not true. They remain among us today, and one of them writes a column concerning economics for the NY Times.

Our kind of Neanderthals never made it back down to Africa to spread their improved immune system ~ and some other stuff we don't know about yet.
Another, more primitive predecessor seems to have visited the villages though.
Today humanity appears to be divided into modern humans with Neanderthal ancestry and those without. Those with OWN EVERYTHING and think up all the new stuff.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this was politically inspired faux science.
The left does not like the proven facts that Neanderthal and Cromagnun interbred to make the true European human. They want the African thing to be in the forefront.

I notice that this story is written with a theme that is the same as all similar stories- that the news today is being discussed in terms that now we understand and we are so certain that now we are correct and how could we possibly have believed what we said was the truth in the distant past, like last week. We are so much more advanced today and know so much more, don’t we?
Did I ask how we could have possibly believed all the stuff we said previously was the truth? Well it was, but everyone who knows better knows that we are telling the truth this time.

The CroMagnon men killed all the Neanderthal men and raped all the Neanderthal women. That is when paper bags were invented by the CroMagnons.

My guess is you are not far of, seems to me that creation was an ongoing project,new and improved models made and older ones discarded, some of wich survived as rebuild with some newer parts, mix and mach as it were LOL

You're right. And that's why science must always build on itself and improve. Dogma cannot be part of science (good science, anyway). It's new data that count.

The theory of interbreeding may be anachronistic thinking on the part of today's anthropologists and archaeologists. Just because at the present WEstern society obsessed with things sexual does not mean the Cromagnon and Neandethal were likewise obsessed. They may have thought each other as repulsive or as a danger to be immediately killed. A living growing people are by their very nature exclusive. It is only a dying people that are inclusive.

Proud owner of Neanderthal DNA (2.7% of my total, and I’ve also got the brow ridges to prove it phgenotypically).

Most likely ~ no idea what it looks like to the other side, but on this side it looks like replacement models and cannibalism for parts.

“phgenotypically” ... I think you have a spelling error there you Neanderthal :-P ...
I need to get one of those tests ... I’m damn curious to see what I’m made of ... I’m hoping most of it is “unknown” or “related to Laz” :-).
