The question of sex with Neanderthals speaks to our understanding of ourselves, our origins and our uniqueness. If this other type of human being wasn't like us, what was he like? As I started researching this issue, I found myself staring at a picture of a nude Neanderthal man - a forensic sculpture created by Duke University paleoanthropologist Steve Churchill that was published last year in the journal Science. The model, based on a skeleton found at La Ferrassie in France, is mesmerizing in its combination of familiarity and alienness. To be honest, he's really not half bad looking. I can't say for certain I wouldn't sleep with him. He's got a good, muscular body, and while he's nobody's idea of handsome, that could be forgiven if he had a nice personality or I was starving and he offered to throw some rhino steaks on the fire for me.

The dummy could get a fairly reasonable idea of what doing it with a neanderthal might be like by bribing some zookeeper to let her do it with a chimpanzee.
The novels The Fifth Child and Ben, in the World (by Doris Lessing) explore this and other topics related to the interaction between Neanderthals and modern man.
Funny keywords. LOL!
I guess it was bound to happen...

Thanks! And I mean it. ;')
IS there doubt about this?
Is this not where Type "O" blood comes from -- Neanderthals.
And Rh negative blood?
(And redheads!)
:') They also made necklaces, built homes, some say invented soup...
