I tend to lean towards the idea that Neanderthals just may have been a type of ape. It’s eye sockets and skull placement on the spinal column makes it more likely that it was an ape than human.
The lack of intermediary forms suggests no overlaps with humans.
What a lot of hokum.
There has yet yo be verifiable and sound scientific evidence of man existing beyond around 6000 years ago.
People believe what they want to believe often against evidence and proof or the lack thereof.
Hubba, hubba!!!
Keep Clinton away from her.
Neanderthal DNA is roughly halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee. The Neanderthal was a very advanced bipedal ape with huge dark-world eyes and a thick fur coat.
The images in the article you cite here are not even close to what a Neanderthal looked like.
This is what Neanderthals looked like
There are two pieces of good news wrt Neanderthals: they are extinct, and we are not related to them, other than by similar design. We are not hominids, we are not descended from hominids, and we have never interbred with hominids. All such claims are total BS.
Was she more scared of men than bears?
Nope, seems totally wrong. She would have never have been that old as depicted.
And how do they know this person didn't identify as a male?
Or, as a Homo Sapien?
Very judgmental of those researchers.
Looks like her Botox treatment failed.
Michelle?
Didn’t modern humans, our homo sapiens ancestors, experience interbreeding with Neanderthals? I have heard that some humans today have certain Neanderthal characteristics .
No chin? Sounds like Frank Burns
I would expect someone to have a lot more wrinkles at age 75,000. Those reconstructive surgeons did an amazing job in erasing those signs of aging!
Or maybe the headline was just really badly written and I got the wrong impression.
This is an artist’s impression of what the woman might have looked like. I wonder why they made her skin so dark. The neanderthals lived in Europe—wouldn’t that mean their skin color would be lighter? The reason modern Europeans lost their pigmentation was so that they could get adequate vitamin D through sun exposure. Melanin absorbs UV light, so lighter people survived better than darker people in the north.
Looks like they used whoopie goldberg as the model.
Did they get it right or did they add a little DEI ?
Funny how liberals think every one of ancient times has pigmented skin.
Ping.
i’d like to see one of them make a CT model of a living person’s skull and see how close they come to doing that one...
I thought this was going to be about Helen Thomas.
