Thanks for the reply. I didn’t want to be the only one banned for posting the truth.
Its also very rare among human homos. Most have had hetro sex and many are actually bi.
Didn’t know that. Interesting.
The answer to that might be that these Denisovan people were pushed east by one or more of the glaciations and that Neanderthals were likewise pushed east by another???
I don’t remember which but there were several breakdowns from studies I have read over the uears. They are out there.
In my personal life I knew (no not biblically ;) several gays, not one of which had never been exclusively gay. It was usually a case of learned behavior and lots of historical revisionism.
“Yea I banged every cheerleader on the squad but I always had the hots for the Football capt...I just was too scared to admit it in this homophobic town”
That type of thing.
I knew guys that had their nails painted, lol.
One sang dancing queen and started doing ballet moves around the office!!
I’ve seen too much.
Thanks for the clarification!
Ah yes...
Male Polish”
Personally I like boobs. They cured me of any genetic possibility of some regressive monkey tendency before it ever had a chance to form ;)
I was hooked on legs by age 12 lol.
The genetic imperative toward heterosexuality is obvious ;)
Dinosaurs were around for tens of millions of years.
Human-like primates for a few hundred thousand.
The timing of the migrations might explain that. The first migrations out of Africa began at least 125,000 and reached Southeast Asia and Australia at least 75,000 years ago. The descendants of the first wave into Southeast Asia are the ones with the Denisovan DNA traces. 125,000 years ago modern humans had plenty of opportunity to get Neanderthal DNA.
Read an interesting fiction novel which put forth the idea that genes are intelligent and use us as hosts.
spooky book.
No, we don’t refer to races of dogs, we DO refer to BREEDS of dogs, denoting something very similar to what is meant by races of humans. No one would say there are no breeds or varieties of dogs and it is meaningless to say there is only one race of humans. Obviously there is only one SPECIES of humans currently as there is only one SPECIES of dogs. I don’t know what is taught now but when I went to school so long ago we were taught in biology class that two closely related species such as horse and donkey may be able to produce offspring but the offspring will be infertile or perhaps in rare instances they may produce a third generation but the third generation will be infertile. If they could interbreed and produce fertile offspring they were said to be of the same species regardless of differences in appearance. By that DEFINITION there could be no neanderthal DNA in modern humans unless neanderthals were actually of the same species as we.
I wish people would drop this line of, “There is only one race, the human race.” That makes no more sense than saying there is only one breed of dog or horse etc. The fact that all modern humans can interbreed and produce offspring only means they are the same SPECIES which has zero to do with the concept of race. People who say there is only one human race sound as confused but in a different way as my long dead uncle who said that black people were not human, ignoring the fact that there were children of mixed race living near him. Obviously those children would not have existed if blacks and whites were not both human but to claim that those children were not the result of mixing two racial heritages is just as foolish. Words must have meanings if we are to communicate and to pretend that race and species are the same thing is to rob words of a meaning.
Title?
Can’t recall as it was long ago. I will poke around and if I find it I will mail you the name.
Thanks. If you want good sci fi, check out Replay by Ken Grimmwood. Puts most ‘classsics’ to shame.
That Neanderthal female looks different from homo sapiens, but is unquestionably human.
Thanks :)
The second Mrs. Lurkin tells me that she sometimes lurks here. So I’m not touching that with a ten foot pole.
