I’m not sure I agree with the headline - I know a guy who dates a girl with a tatoo.

I read something similar to that about 40 years ago, where a Rabbi scholar wrote that the “giants” meant the “hairy ones,” speculating that they were remnant Neanderthals.

Must have been something they said... Once you move to the other side of the elephant tracks, you just can't slum it and go back.
To: I still care
Neanderthals , Nephilim, Multisylabic alliterations aside, it's still a plausible theory. Languages melt and morph over time.
Here's another one Canaan bush, cannabis.

To: wildbill
Males of our species and probably those of other Homo species prefer more feminine, rounder females. Homo Sapiens are more sleek and less angular than the other “Homos”. It would make sense for males of other Homo species to be attracted to our females. It would also make sense for males of our species to NOT be attracted to the rougher looking females of other species.
Females are naturally attracted to more angular, bigger boned males so it would make some sense for a greater percentage of our females to be attracted to neanderthals than our males. However, in those times females had less of a choice of who they mated with and force often determined who got with who.
Until humans developed better weapons, neanderthals were stronger and more likely to steal our women. Humans were far less likely to attack the bigger neanderthals for their women. Also, their women were less attractive to us and harder to control with force.

——The last sex between Neanderthals and modern humans likely occurred as recently as 47,000 years ago,-——
Bull crap....it was 46,950 years ago..../ S
Having sex doesn’t matter...getting pregnant does...to extend your genes pool...
How can anyone with a straight face claim which people stopped having sex...

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
in local libraries
"Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]
