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?
What part?
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.
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.
Hybrid vigor, bigger brains...the more enterprising, ambitious, fearless folk left Africa and became steel, while the Africans remained iron...
This could get interesting!
My wife and I knew this already! She accepted my Neanderthal genetics as the reason why I always club her in the head before I drag her into my cave. It only took her a week or so to recover after our first date! ;-)

A new study a day keeps the morons at bay.
this only means something if you believe we came from apes.
I have one thing to say - Men with hairy backs.
It would be nice if the article said what physical characteristics this gene was supposed to influence. I have heard of the “ginger gene” which was supposed to convey red hair and coloring. Was this a different one?
They way they explained these things in Sunday School was much simpler.
What we need now is legislation to support Neanderthal rights! /s
We are ALL part-Neanderthal, now.
Here we go , here we go now.
"The research team, which was led by Damian Labuda of the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Montreal and the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center, suggests that the intermingling between humans and neanderthals likely took place in the Middle East.
While much still remains unclear about the Neanderthals, it's now clear that the two lived in close association, according to the researchers"
Seems that Neanderthals are looking better and better every day.
What if it turns out that our Neanderthal ancestors were actually the kinder & gentler "better half"?
One kind of weird thing about neanders is that the forearm is SHORTER than the upper arm. Freaky.
This explains the World’s Strongest Man competition.
