I think your problem is with my statement that modern humans have a sex of aesthetics and don't usually go out of their way to have sex with butt ugly people. If I'm correct, what you're saying is that humans 30,000 years ago might not have had the same aesthetic, and might've loved ravishing Neanderthals.

I agree with you, and I don't think it's far-fetched at all to suppose the Neanderthals would be discriminated against based upon appearance. Mate selection based on all sorts of physical characteristics is widespread in the animal kingdom. Typically mate selection favors breeding with someone similar to one's own appearance, since creatures with a much different appearance may be of the wrong species, and breeding them would be a waste of time!

I think that any love is good lovin'
And so I took what I could get, mmm
Oooh, oooh, she looked at me with big brown eyes
And said

You ain't seen nothin' yet
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-B-B-Baby, you just ain't seen nothin' yet

Bachman-Turner Overdrive
