"The only error in analysis would be to assume Neanderthals were a signle breeding group."

Yup. I think many are making that mistake. In 200,000+ years all sorts of isolating occured.

"...but tonight I believe we clubbed them rather than shtupped them to death."

It doesn't have to be one or the other. I fall into the probably a little of both camp. Love and war two of our most developed talents.

Just how long after beer was invented did humans start picking up Neanderthals?

Redheads 'Are Neanderthals'

[From many - one.]

No.

[carumba]

Uh, isn't that the WHOLE concept of evolution, the neanderthals WERE our ancestors?

I guess they will have to revise the classic monkey to man illustration in all those 6th grade biology texts.

"According to the researchers, these early Homo sapien bones show anatomical features that could only have arisen if the adult female in question had Neanderthal ancestors as part of her lineage. "

The, "...that could only have arisen ..." comment proves the disingenuousness of the "researcher"! Science is NEVER (almost) this positive. And here, I would say never.

Of my parents' grandchildren, seven are redheads and one is blond. I have a red head complextion which is why probably I'm going in tomorrow for surgery to find out whether my melanoma has spread.

Here's another early human invention.

There were recurring glaciations ~ Neanderthal populations really had a tough time moving around Europe ~

My first thought when seeing this post was of those Jane Auel books. You know, "The clan of the cave bear" stuff.

I always appreciate reading your posts out here.

"There's not this shining moment where the Neanderthals all disappeared because we ran out of the forest and clubbed them to death,"

Shining moment, huh?

[DuncanWaring]

ok, so when they find kerry in 1000 years, would he be classified as modern human or neanderthal??

Neither.

He'll be classified as "Horse's Ass"

[Mercat]

yup, that would be my daughter about ten years ago.

[ASA Vet]

So what you're saying is our classification method won't change over a 1000 year period?

"I'm going in tomorrow for surgery to find out whether my melanoma has spread."
Good luck. Hope everything goes well for you.

Neanderthals lived in Europe and parts of the Middle East. During the same period, there were non-Neanderthal humans in other parts of the world (Africa and other parts of Asia). Those who don't believe we have any Neanderthal ancestry would have modern humans totally descended from the people in the other parts of the world.
