Next time you're about to slam somebody for carrying on like a Neanderthal, think twice: You might be hitting close to home.

A new study published in the Molecular Biology and Evolution reports that people of non-African heritage carry a chromosome which originates from Neanderthals, offering evidence that the two populations interbred at a certain point in history.

Surely you’ve heard of berserkers run amok?

That explains the larger cranial capacity.

So if everything is as Darwin says and we all progressed through the changes that turned us into humans, and non-Africans (Whites-Asians) came from Neanderthals, where did Africans come from?

Look at most of the responses here. Playful and positive.

And THAT my friends is the biggest difference between most conservatives and most liberals. Can you imagine the cries of RACISM from the left had this been said about blacks?

where did Africans come from?

They evolved in Kenya from Homo Erect Cuss, which explains the disproportionate crime rates among African Americans.

I can believe this. Many years ago while commuting to work I noticed men whose facial structure reminded me of primitive men. Some even had bunches of ugly black hair emanating from their white shirt sleeves.

These observations told me even then that Neanderthal man walked among us.

Blue eyes and reddish hair. People often called me "red" before my blonde highlights.

Pale skin, and Irish/German ancestry. I am NEANDERTHAL. :)

I'm quite happy with this...my ancestors of many generations came from that same Valley!

And I don't believe that 'out of africa' theory anyway. Never did!

I AM PART-NEANDERTHAL, AND PROUD OF IT!

From Wiki:

“Berserkers (or berserks) were Norse warriors who are reported in the Old Norse literature to have fought in a nearly uncontrollable, trance-like fury, a characteristic which later gave rise to the English word berserk. Berserkers are attested in numerous Old Norse sources. Most historians believe that berserkers worked themselves into a rage before battle, but some think that they might have consumed drugged foods.”

I don’t think they have anything on the berserkers of yore!

Which would have been easier had DU existed at that time

Ah, hence my preference to hunt/gather, build fires, and always dragging her into the bedroom...

Shouldn’t we have a Neanderthal-American Caucus in Congress.

When I was a kid, the paintings of Neanderthals looked like ape men. Now they look like my best friend back home.

Not a surprise.

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve

in local libraries
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]
