Neanderthals were 100% human but had the disease of rickets which accounts for their posture. (Maybe this has changed since the late 60’s)

This does not mean that his ancestors lived in Ireland.
That was the primary conclusion but with more data they then said he was related to half of European males. I keep hoping for more European DNA studies.

With the movement of peoples westward over millennia, Ireland would be the end of the road until 1492.
I think there's pretty solid research proving a Levantine origin (with stops along the way, northern Iberia for one) for the Irish . . . or at least one wave of Irish settlers.

If they were able to interbreed with the newcomers from Africa then they were not a different species, they were just another race of human. At the margins, the lines between "species" are blurry, not sharp (as Darwinian evolution would predict). No one thinks lions and tigers are the same species, or that dogs and wolves are, but there are occasional succcesful matings between lions and tigers and between wolves and dogs.

You do understand that theories are the highest level of proof in science don’t you? Newton’s laws of motion were corrected by Einstein’s theories. Electricity is understood, in part, by circuit theory. You understand this stuff, right?

“Neanderthals originally emerged from Africa...”
I don’t see how this is possible. Did they all leave, leaving the continent completely before the negroes moved in ?

Well, somebody had to talk about how interbreeding took place, and the mechanics of the process, and whether Laz would be involved...,..

If they couldnt get it right the first time, why would I think they know now?Cause you gotta have...

why we triumphed while the better adapted and similarly intelligent Neanderthals were killed off by their enemies.
there fixed it.

I liked the study that said we had 80% of the DNA of a CARROT.Latest study shows that half the population has less intelligence than a CARROT.

Seen any statistics on how many are dumber than rocks?

Is there a scientific source outside the financial community.Is the search limited to just this planet?
