There is vanishingly little genetic diversity in the present human race including red heads. Neanderthal DNA by way of contrast is typically described as roughly halfway betweeen ours and that of a chimpanzee. In other words, the neanderthal who was the most advanced hominid, was basically a glorified ape despite his rough resemblance to us. Everybody who studies this stuff pretty much agrees this rules the neanderthal out as a plausible human ancestor and that has to rule the others out as well.

False.

Neanderthal has not been considered a plausible ancestor for decades, but not because of the DNA studies--which have taken place only in the last 10 or so years.

... and that has to rule the others out as well.

False.

You really need to study some of this before you post your opinions. Virtually everything you said is wrong.

Go screw an ape, see what turns up.

Nothing....for a million years.
