These folks still have Neanderthals mixing with moderns, etc.

At first glance, for some reason I thought the headline said
Hannity's Strange Face. I thought, man if you think Hannity has a strange face, what about Alan Colmes???
Anyway, very interesting read here.

If you want to know what happened to the Neanderthal genes, just look at the offensive ond defensive frontline of any NFL team this fall................
BTW, I served in the USMC with a guy who had hair over almost every square inch of his body. He looked like a bear in a pair of boxers.......

These folks still have Neanderthals mixing with moderns, etc. Why shouldn't they? That still happens even today:

I need to lay off FR for a while. I clicked on this link thinking it said 'Hannity's Strage Face'.

My understanding is that one of the key definitions of a species is the ability to interbreed. If Neanderthals and early homo-sapiens did interbreed, would that not make them the same species by definition? Rather than different species, we would be looking at different races. Dogs are the same species, but there are lots of 'races' we call breeds.

Oase (pronounced wa-zee)
Kewl! So would that make oaso pronounced wa-zoo?
Surely there are remnants of the Neanderthal around in some western euro gene pools. Consider more than just the hairyness...some folk have some fairly heavy brow ridges too.
I find this stuff fascinating.

"Upon reaching the cavern in 2002, the investigators saw cave bear bones lying everywhere. The huge creatures may have hibernated there and died after awakening, perhaps lacking the energy to lumber to the surface."
? I can come up with a better story than that.

The idea of a sudden explosion of modernity some 40,000 years ago leaves a lot of questions in my mind. However, the European cave painting and associated artifacts certainly are testiment to a great golden age. Thought provoking article.

But the Aboriginies in Austrailia arrived there 50000 plus years ago...they are modern. No Neanderthal traits there.

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
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]
