The last 10 years have transformed the evidence concerning the early origins and evolution of Neanderthal populations. Genetic comparisons of Neanderthal and Denisovan ancient DNA suggest that the common ancestor of these populations separated from African ancestors of modern humans prior to 600,000 years ago, followed by a rapid differentiation in Eurasia. Later, additional episodes of gene flow brought genes into Neanderthal populations, including the mtDNA clade carried by all later Neanderthals. Yet, a number of western Eurasian fossil samples from the time between 600,000 and 100,000 years ago are difficult to accommodate within the category of "Neanderthals", including European (e.g., Mala Balanica, Vertesszollos, Bilzingleben, Ceprano) and Levantine (e.g., Qesem, Zuttiyeh) remains. In the pre-genomic framework, such samples would often have been described as generalized possible ancestors of Neanderthals, but it now appears that they may represent diverse populations that stem from deeper ancestors shared with Neanderthals and modern humans. Who were these deep ancestors of Neanderthals? This presentation weighs the known possibilities, including Homo antecessor, archaic African populations, a strict Homo heidelbergensis based upon the Mauer mandible, and Homo erectus.

Gnak and Smeenki.
Gnak was employed full time in the wandering meat procuring industry and part time as a runner away from big hungry predators.
Smeenki was employed full time as a grub and root digger upper and also had a part time job which was fire pit tender.
They lived in a country with a name that loosely translates to “Big flat land is flat, except for that line of hills over there”.
Some hood guy would say “Yo Momma”
Don’t get me started ...
Sorry but the point I want to make is that when the watchers took the mated with the daughters of Adam they created Giants. That is where the DNA came into their population.
Pictures are hillarious. Who are they? I recognize two but don’t remember their names. Brain isn’t working like it used to.
My ancestors came from Lout.
The Sheriff’s report called my family reunion “A bunch of drunken louts.”
I think it’s somewhere by Finland.
Al Green (neanderthal pol from Texas)
Helen Thomas (neanderthal journalist ( deceased)
Ron Pearlman ( neanderthal actor)
Is that anywhere near Yute?
That is where the yutes come from.
Thanks ! :-)

Paleanderthals?
So, that part of the DNA is imaginary, good to know.
Scientists examining the genomes of West Africans have detected signs that a mysterious extinct human species interbred with our own species tens of thousands of years ago in Africa, the latest evidence of humankind's complicated genetic ancestry.
The study indicated that present-day West Africans trace a substantial proportion, some 2% to 19%, of their genetic ancestry to an extinct human species – what the researchers called a "ghost population."
"We estimate interbreeding occurred approximately 43,000 years ago, with large intervals of uncertainty," said University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) human genetics and computer science professor Sriram Sankararaman, who led the study published this week in the journal Science Advances...
Previous genetic research showed that our species interbred with both the Neanderthals and Denisovans, with modern human populations outside of Africa still carrying DNA from both. But while there is an ample fossil record of the Neanderthals and a few fossils of Denisovans, the newly identified "ghost population" is more enigmatic...
Sankararaman said this extinct species seems to have diverged roughly 650,000 years ago from the evolutionary line that led to Homo sapiens, before the evolutionary split between the lineages that led to our species and to the Neanderthals.
The researchers examined genomic data from hundreds of West Africans including the Yoruba people of Nigeria and Benin and the Mende people of Sierra Leone, and then compared that with Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes. They found DNA segments in the West Africans that could best be explained by ancestral interbreeding with an unknown member of the human family tree that led to what is called genetic "introgression."Mysterious 'ghost population' of ancient humans discovered in African DNA [02/15/2020]

Democrats?
According to an acquaintance of mine, in a comment he made to me: “Anti-communists like you.”
About 15 years ago, there was a paper published suggesting the Neanderthals ended up in Ireland.
I have seen some specimens that would have fit right in with the ‘Quest For Fire’ boys.
Wonderful people. Smart and engaging. But they had that look....
