If they couldn’t get it right the first time, why would I think they know now?

Is there a scientific source outside the financial community.

Based on his initial failures then, Edison never came up with a workable lightbulb.

Neanderthals are our closest known extinct relatives, with about 99.5% of DNA in common with humans If they were able to interbreed with the newcomers from Africa then they were not a different species, they were just another race of human.

lol...but electricity that wasn’t a theory, it was a practical test and solution to a problem.
Theories and speculations with holes in them the first time are usually not any better the second time around....or third etc.

my puter will not load the whole page. I'll keep looking. I thought it was interesting that they said King Tut was first Irish and then half of Europe was related to him.

Like you say, someone had to interbreed.

I liked the study that said we had 80% of the DNA of a CARROT.
Stupid puter still will not load the article.

I'll keep looking. I thought it was interesting that they said King Tut was first Irish and then half of Europe was related to him. King Tut appears to be Celtic. This does not mean that his ancestors lived in Ireland. It means that the same people that Tut was descended from ultimately migrated there.
Regarding the argument that "Egyptians were Africans", agriculture was first developed somewhere around Iraq. I could see people spreading out from there in search of fertile farming land, finding the Nile valley, and displacing/killing any black Africans they found. Thus, while living in Africa, they would be no more "African" than the whites of South Africa.

Well, surprise, surprise, surprise.
Also, when estimating the contribution of neanderthals to the modern European genome, if 99.5% of genes are the same, what’s to say the contribution wasn’t larger than reported?
