A new study concludes that humans mated with Neanderthals 50,000 to 80,000 years ago, leaving traces of the Neanderthal genome in some modern humans.
This picture shows the reconstruction of a Neanderthal woman at the Neanderthal Museum in Mettmann, Germany, on March 20, 2009. A new study is offering insights into how early humans and Neanderthals were similar and different.

I beg you reconsider the 4% figure.

Modern Neanderthal have a way of finding each other.

I’ve dated one like that, and maybe a few cromagnums too.

No criticism at all on my part. You can get conflicting numbers and opinions wherever you go. I just wanted to make a point that Neanderthal is awfully close to us if not archaic humans rather than distinct species. It’s a really contentious field just now. Chimps are close to us but a separate line of development.

A 2 at 10 is a 10 at 2!Or as Pat McCormick told Johnny Carson when asked if he'd ever had a '10'?
