After several investigations, it has been decisively concluded that Homo Sapiens Neandertalis and Homo Sapiens Sapiens share NO DNA, and therefore we are not their descendants!

OK -- I am all eyes. Let's see your proof of this.

Sorry Guys, I can't give verbatim references. While I'm a critical reader, I don't usually memorize the details about the source (other than to note the credibility). The last study I remember reading about was a European one in 2004, and it confirmed a German investigation from a few years earlier. I was surprised when I read it, because I had always believed our people and they had interacted amicably, and of course must have mated sometimes also. The researchers were not religious creationists, but paleontologists. The researchers were also surprised, but were saying that the evidence was clear, that they (paleontologists) were going to have to revise their hypotheses about what became of the Neanderthals.
Honestly, I've read about this finding so many times now that I thought it had become fairly common knowledge by now. That's why I was so surprised to see some bonehead writing an article based on such outdated theories.
