Is the search limited to just this planet?
I suppose I need to limit it to English as that is all I almost understand.
NO, I've heard that it mostly depends on how many rocks you eat.
If that were true, then why is there NO NEANDERTHAL DNA in African Negroes ?
Sorry for the ambiguous comeback. I’ll try again.
“No, not on this planet.”
No, not on this planet.
I have been reading C.S. Lewis “Space Trilogy” so I will be locking for answers.
Looks like she’s had a lip job.
I do have faith but it’s in God.
I understand God’s Word about creation, and I am not hung up in details of how many years etc. Science is not my field, although I made it through two college biology classes with labs including Anatomy.....so I could get my degree in Criminal Justice.
Makes me want to search my bookcases to find “Clan of the Cave Bear” for another read, as the last time was probably 15-20 years ago.
When I said "newcomers from Africa", I meant those humans who had left Africa and who went on to become Europeans and Asians.
Neanderthals are our closest known extinct relatives, with about 99.5% of DNA in common with humans. They had a brain size similar to ours and much stronger bodies. They were also likely better adapted to Europe's bitter climate and had survived several ice ages.That contrasts with the imbecility from England that the Neandertal "went extinct" because there was a cold snap right when "gracile anatomically modern humans" arrived from Africa.
The Neandertal Enigma"Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

Compare and contrast:
Modern Humans Arrived in Europe Earlier Than Previously Thought, Study Finds
Before they left Africa, early modern humans were ‘culturally diverse’
Neanderthals Died Out 10,000 Years Earlier Than Thought, With Help From Modern Humans
So, that ‘tells’ the final story:
Neanderthals were killed off by DIVERSITY!.......................
Lets suppose that Neanderthals were faced with the following choices because of the larger number of an invading species:
1. devolve with chimpanzees, back to the past
2. status quo—declining numbers and constested area.
3. Ayla. “Goodbye Mog, I love ya, but this looks like the fun ride.”
Now these guys had a bigger brain than we do today so IMHO the overwhelming choice would be to get into that loooonng line for Ayla.
