C'mon, today's people "interbreed" with horses, chickens, goats, sheep and just about anything else that breathes and is above room temperature (just check out Sundance). And we are supposed to believe homo sapiens would've looked down their noses at Neanderthals, that copulating with them would have been below their station? Ha!

How many Neanderthals does it take to develop a yarn about evolution?..
Clan of the cave bear was a good one.. I loved it/them..
One thing ALL humans have in common.. They love a good story..

From their analysis of genetic material in the bone, the scientists estimated that Neanderthals and the modern people who supplanted them had 99.5% of their genes in common. Well humans and Oak trees are something like 90% the same, so a 0.5% does not prove much when a 1 millionth percent of a genetic difference separates an Einstein from an anacephalitic.
Stupid article but I did like the "Clan of the Cave Bear" movie and didn't even realize they were trying to depict Neanderthals vs. Cro-Magnons. I thought it was "primitive vs advanced", not a species difference they were depicting, that is if Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons even qualify as different species. From what I can see, the jury is still out on that.

Poorly written article.
It does not accurately convey the actual DNA evidence for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.
There have been a lot of articles, including FR threads, on this subject. Check out the facts for yourself.

I know but I thought it was funny. Even if the "people" at LA Times "think" otherwise.

Somebody needs to do a DNA test on Dan Dierdorf. Just saying.

No question in my mind: Mr. Fairview is a direct lineal descendant of the Neanderthals. But he is his own species.

LOL. I thought at first you were referring to Ron Perelman (extra e), the neanderthal billionaire who bought Revlon Cosmetics in the '80's.
