"OK, since I was without visual clues, how did you determine that was "female"?"

Yes, visual clues are important with cave women.

Don’t worry too much - the Chinese will be able to reconstruct pretty Europeans.

Reverse engineering?

That's pretty convincing but just to be on the safe side I'm
going to have to have some personal interaction. For science.

“They sequenced a Neanderthal genome and discovered it carried genes that also appear in the genomes of people of European and Asian descent: our species must have interbred with Neanderthals.”

Could not both lines have received these genes from a common ancestor? Do they think the human/Neanderthal line parted after, say, Australopithecus?

‘The Neandertal Enigma’

I have the book also and my dentists was surprised to find that after repeated attempts he could not numb me for a root canal. We did it anyway. I have short legs for 6’1”, wear a size 13 shoe,(sorry ladies that is a myth), bony brow ridge, my height is in my torso, I am very strong, have long arms, my resting heartrate is from 47 to 52, and I am damned ugly.

I think there is a good possibility that I am at least somewhat a Neanderthal. Also a good possibility that I could make a living in a circus sideshow. Also possible that the author of the Neandertal Enigma is full of it.
