Missing link found, then?

I do seem to have hybrid vigor...

Bible geek notes:

The fact that Leviticus 18:23 bans bestiality suggests that human beings interbred with non humans enough for God to say to stop. Outside the Bible is a history of the Canaanites engaging in bestiality as well as other sexual immoralities on a regular basis. Egypt and Greece recorded bestiality in their art.

I don't recall anything specifically in history about interbreeding with neanderthals. But given the various history of mankind engaging in sex with different kinds of animals, neanderthal interbreeding wouldn't surprise me.

Neanderthal chicks were easy.

Most people alive today carry traces of genes inherited from Neanderthals -- the enduring legacy of prehistoric hookups with our extinct cousins. But researchers have long debated when and where that mingling happened, and whether these were one-off romps or commonplace trysts

I like how they paint a picture of a neanderthal (much stronger and more powerful than homo sapiens) as showing up with a bouquet of flowers and a box of cholcoates to pick up his date for a romantic evening.

Methinks another scenario may have played out.

History Debunked channel has good videos about this. Although i can’t find the one specifically where he talks about the particular gene combo that led to the explosion in art and invention.

Back in June 2022, New York Governor Hock-a-loogie called pro-lifers Neanderthals.
