I'm taking an on line genetics class from the University of Maryland and the Professor said Neanderthals had red hair and were fair skinned. The Neanderthal genome has been worked out at least so they say. Now the Neanderthal is "later" than the species depicted in the article. I don't know if the Denisovan genome has been worked out.

How do they know that applies to all Neanderthals and not just the subset for whom they've found DNA?

I'm never really see the point of all this study of the origin of Humans. I figure at some point God put a soul in us and then we stopped being apes.

Did you professor mention that the racial variability within the Neanderthal was greater than within “anatomically modern man”?

Ah!

So that explains the gingers and why they have no souls.
