I’ve amused myself with that one, that so-called interbreeding would more likely produce lower infant mortality if the mom was Neandertal...

Can’t believe that humans & Neandertals were particularly attractive to each other. Which causes me to ask, do you think Neandertal women ran faster or slower than human females? It’s never about how fast you can run, but whether or not you’re faster than the other options.

Even at "last call"?

Yes, I think they are. Thing is, if there wasn't enough of a difference to matter, there wouldn't have been viable, identifiable "communities" of either for many, many centuries.

Last call crossed my mind as I wrote that. LOL In the season when all of the berries have fermented, the woman don't seem to be able to run as fast. :o)

“Even at “last call”?”

I don’t even want to think about it. When I think of Cave People I think about Barbara Bach in a fur bikini. Lets keep it that way...........

I can’t comment on neanderthal males but our particular species of male has found females, males, children, animals and a wide selection of inanimate objects erotic throughout our history.

You'll notice I said nothing about the speed males can run, assuming they'll breed with whichever kind of women ran slower. It was a playoff against an old joke about the best way to avoid becoming dinner for some fast running wild animal.
