Look around you. Some of those human-neanderthal hybrids are still here.
“Theory” = guess = more grant money = still a “theory” = more grant money = repeat forever.....
I expected a dateline from Missing Link, Mississippi.
Wookie/Neanderthal hybrid..............yeah, they are still around.
Now you can marry a Neanderthal.
Oh man I just lost a bet with my wife that the former UPI reporter’s heinous image would already have been posted on this thread.
FWIW current man and ‘neanderthals’ are genetically the same species.
Genetically this is no big deal.
No different than a Mastiff mating with a retriever.
>>>>From the morphology of the lower jaw, the face of the Mezzena individual would have looked somehow intermediate between classic Neanderthals, who had a rather receding lower jaw (no chin), and the modern humans, who present a projecting lower jaw with a strongly developed chin, co-author Silvana Condemi, an anthropologist, told Discovery News....<<<<
Moochelle, is it you??
So...Fred, Wilma, & Pebbles were not fictional characters after all.

Neanderthals lived much more sparsely than Cro-Magnon — smaller, further separated groups. When they met, there would be many more Cro-magnons than Neanderthals. Let’s say there were twenty Cro-Magnons for every one Neanderthal. If they freely interbred, then about five percent of the genes of the spawn would be Neanderthal......
I mean, this was not just another racial group.....
I am reminded of the novelty song “Troglodyte”, by the Jimmy Castor Bunch.

I can see how it might happen. Dinner and a movie on the third date, then back to the pad for a nightcap, vanilla scented candles, with Barry White on in the background . . .
