I was NOT implying that African Blacks were Neanderthals. What I was SAYING was that the "original citizens" everywhere were prehistoric Neanderthals.


I think you misinterpreted what I said.

Anyhow, welcome to FreeRepublic!

And no, I don't think anyone is a Neanderthal. That is a scientific term for a specific prehistoric man. It is NOT a derisive term.

Well I misinterpreted your thoughts.
I just don't believe neanderthals ever existed, that's where I was coming from..
Sorry about that.

And I didn't take any implication that you were aiming that at any one man.

wrong. Neanderthals were adapted for life in cold climates, and their remains have only been found in places that were under or near the glacial ice sheet during the last major ice age -- in Europe, in the Middle East and in the Himalayan belt.
