Next time you're about to slam somebody for carrying on like a Neanderthal, think twice: You might be hitting close to home.

A new study published in the Molecular Biology and Evolution reports that people of non-African heritage carry a chromosome which originates from Neanderthals, offering evidence that the two populations interbred at a certain point in history.

Right, I always thought Al Sharpton was a more obviously advanced species.

Hybrid vigor, bigger brains...the more enterprising, ambitious, fearless folk left Africa and became steel, while the Africans remained iron...

This could get interesting!

Say it loud, say it proud “I am Neaderthal!”

Hey hey, ho ho, knuckle-draggers have got to go.

My wife and I knew this already! She accepted my Neanderthal genetics as the reason why I always club her in the head before I drag her into my cave. It only took her a week or so to recover after our first date! ;-)

You are making some assumptions about Nenderthal behavior that are not supported. People just assume they acted like pure brutes because they were “cave men.” Actually early Homo Sapiens lived pretty much the same way. They made better tools, though.

It would be nice if the article said what physical characteristics this gene was supposed to influence. I have heard of the “ginger gene” which was supposed to convey red hair and coloring. Was this a different one?

It seems we could tell where the X chromosome piece might have come from in those 9% by looking at their mtDNA; if they share similar mtDNA, then it was one of our guys shtupping one of their females.
