Neanderthals are alive, well, and walking among us. I personally have seen a few. Those still doubting would do well by looking at the picture of the recent heavyweight boxer [valuev??]- the skull with heavily sloping forehead and brow ridges are enough tio dispel any doubts.

Looks like the boys at college 1969-1973. Lots of hair, hippy days. And they (miss)behaved like neanderthals too! LOL

Consider that one of our most respected homo sapiens, former president William Jefferson Clinton, once looked at the 1600 year old mummified body of a 16 yr old Incan girl, snickered, and said something to the effect of "Heck, I'd hit that!"

Given that, why would it come as a surprise that sapiens and neandertals would interbreed?

I dunno. I go back and forth on this issue, but tonight I believe we clubbed them rather than shtupped them to death.

Congrats....you are now on the "who do we club today?" cave man list.

Might even be in the #1 spot.

How very un-PC of you.

First thing that came to my mind from the headline was Michael Jackson.

No, those beasts never were as advanced as Neanderthals.... what came before Cro-magnon? That might be where we find the lineage of such Islamo-fascists....

Just a quick thought ~ think of the Neanderthals as consisting of several dozen relatively isolated breeding groups that made little if any contact with the others.

Early Modern Humans could move into this population and breed with some, eat others, and ignore yet others, and you could get all the reported results.

The only error in analysis would be to assume Neanderthals were a signle breeding grup.

Excuse me I am just a poor uneducated boy, but if darwin is correct and we evolved , it would stand to reason that somewhere along the line humans and neanderthals were interbreeding, so wheres the surprise?

"Uh, isn't that the WHOLE concept of evolution, the neanderthals WERE our ancestors?"

There has always been a great deal of debate as to whether Neanderthals were our ancestors or an offshoot of the family tree that went extinct. Despite the confidence of this researcher, I would say the jury is still out on that one.

I had a brother in law that I swear was a crossbreed. That was the hairiest boy I've ever seen. Looked like the Wolfman.
