Wait a minute...I thought via evolution we were descendants from neanderthals...
I must not understand how that's all supposed to work...

I have a black friend who laughs about white supremists...
She says that people who do their DNA inveribly find a trace of black Af5ican in there background...
LOL

All can be traceable back to 8 people,
and ultimately two people.

“The study, reported in the journal Science, was greeted by scientists as almost certain confirmation that modern humans and Neanderthals mated when the groups crossed paths”

Ermm...yeah, what’s so surprising about this. Leave it up to the eggheads to “discover” the obvious. There were so many other branches of modern Homo Sapiens ancestors that it would confuse the heck out of you. Some people think Neanderthal was the only ancestors we had. Wish I had that picture of the pre-Homo Sapiens Sapiens tree.

No need to “skip over” the flood history.
You have two original sources of [perfect] DNA,
they multiplied into huge numbers,
then all but 8 were killed,
then they were scattered about the earth.

Anthropologists have long speculated that early humans may have mated with Neanderthals, but the latest study provides the strongest evidence so far, suggesting that such encounters took place around 60,000 years ago in the Fertile Crescent region of the Middle East. Dear Pentcave Forum: I never thought things like this really happened. It wss at the festival of the overripe fruit. She had a monobrow and a huge jaw, but my head was buzzing from too much overripe fruit...
Most people living outside Africa can trace up to 4% of their DNA to a Neanderthal origin,
According to the "one drop" rule, that means I should have entered Neanderthal on my census form.
