I hope you're joking.

Have you ever tried to knapp flint or obsidian ? It's not as easy as it looks. Making a decent, sharp and straight stone blade DOES require a good little bit of skill and practice.

Stoneware is made from clay and baked in a kiln. It's as hard as stone, hence the name. I don't think Java man had kilns.;^)

Humans tend to be so adventurous sexually, I can't imagine Neanderthals NOT being in our genes.

Studies of mitochondrial DNA (the kind that survives the longest, it's found in the bones, e.g. thigh bones) have so far not shown any link between humans and Neanderthals, amazingly enough.

Yup. To me, that indicates that we should question mtDNA as a tool for these tests/studies.

I am not replying to this thread any more. No one seems to know what the word "intellect" means.

I don't think that is correct. The conclusion was that Neanderthal was not an ancestor species. Neanderthal and modern man clearly share a common ancestor species.

No humans tested have Neanderthal mitochondrial DNA.

Because we inherit mitochondrial DNA from our mothers, this means that no humans tested had a Neanderthal foremother.

It is possible that human males mated with Neanderthal females, but not possible that human females both mated with Neanderthal males and then gave birth to a half-human half-Neanderthal child.
