Ancient trysts between Neanderthals and modern humans may have influenced modern risks for depression, heart attacks, nicotine addiction, obesity and other health problems, researchers said.
Some of the scientists' discoveries confirm previous ideas. For example, earlier research suggested that Neanderthal DNA influenced skin cells known as keratinocytes that help protect the skin from environmental damage such as ultraviolet radiation and germs.
The new findings suggest that Neanderthal genetic variants increase the risk of developing sun-triggered skin lesions known as keratoses, which are caused by abnormal keratinocytes.

Whoever he is, let’s sue him! :)
Isn’t he the head of the Gambinos :)
“Tryst” is defined as a “a private romantic, rendezvous between lovers.
Did ancient humans and neanderthals really have “trysts?”
the media are such idiots.

Laz hit it.
Multiculturalism kills!
Neanderthal/HomoSapien “trysts” would have happened almost exclusively with European Homo Sapiens, right?
A friend of mine has a friend who is a Black racial supremecist, constantly going on about how Caucasians are full of inferior Neanderthal DNA. This would definitely play into that.
No heart disease but massive depression starting Tuesday, January 20, 2009 and continuing. I feel worse contemplating the possibility of President Hillary Clinton.
If they did, then so-called Neanderthals were themselves ancient humans. They probably invented the disco ball, too.
Well I am positive, there is NO doubt, that “trysts” between mr p6 and I over the past 38 years have led to severe depression in both of us.
I am of Celtic heritage, she is of Serb heritage.
No comment on which one of us is the Neanderthal.
HAHAHA!
PRECIOUS graphic...a REAL photo op for the Dems.
Hard.
So, I’m a minority after all!
You are BOTH Europeans. Now, "Neanderthal" is merely an attitude--one capable of existing in both genders...since we get half our genes from each parent.
Besides, the Celts WERE originally European, from central Europe, I believe. They were gradually pushed farther and farther west. Their language was one of the four original European languages: Greek, Latin, German and Celtic.
The Celts finally migrated to what is now the Emerald Isle.
My great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather had too much fermented coa-coa juice and went to the cave with that Neanderskank.
That’s my problem. I knew it wasn’t me.
MOST depressing.
However, I learned a long time ago that what the POTUS does has no impact on my personal life.
