You ought to add some Melungeon links to your link list there.

Heh heh heh.

Interesting !

The recent DNA studies have basically explained the big mystery of there being no evidence of cross breeding between us and neanderthals, and eliminated the neanderthal as a plausible ancestor for modern man and, all other hominids being FURTHER removed from us than the neanderthal, that leaves us with no plausible evolutionary antecedent for modern man on the planet and the idea of modern man having evolved, pretty much in tatters.

Can you give me a citation from any reputable source in the last thirty years that cites neanderthal as a direct ancestor of ours?

They used to, and you still see the chain-of-being type pictures in which the neanderthal is the next thing back from modern man. What they're claiming now is that both we and the neanderthal are descended from homo heidelbergensis, which is a type of homo erectus, and that is laughable: that's like claiming that dogs could not be descended from wolves, therefore they must be descended directly from fish.

I've answered that, twice.

Hope the first one leaps off the table and strangles these weird scientists. They are far more dangerous than the Neanderthal.
