Modern man and Neanderthals had sex across the species barrier, according to leading geneticist Professor Svante Paabo.

Professor Paabo, who is director of genetics at the renowned Max Planck Institution for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, made the claim at a conference in the Cold Springs Laboratory in New York.

But Prof Paabo said he was unclear if the couplings had led to children, of if they were capable of producing offspring.

"What I'm really interested in is, did we have children back then and did those children contribute to our variation today?" he said in an article in The Sunday Times.

The latter... the truth of the matter is, that while it true that both species lived in close areas, there is no evidence of them living together. Therefore, if there was an interaction, it was limited.

Pure speculation...looks like somebody needed some press attention.

Reading the title of this thread, I can't stop picturing a tired businessman in a wrinkled 3 piece suit hitting on the hairy chick at the end of the bar...

Well, you know, the chick looks better with every glass beer... the only problem is when she looks beautiful enough you have to be carried out....

Thinking about it, that could mean a whole other thing. Hell no.

Hey, I'm not wrong. I'm just not completely right.

Posted 27 October 2009 - 06:01 PM

Considering the widespread sexual deviency that is alive today. I do not think it too much to expect there was some inter-species relations.

Here at Intel we make processors on 12 inch wafers. And, the individual processors on the wafers are called die. And, I am employed to check these die. That is why I am the DieChecker.

Whoa, the internet's missing out on a whole new genre of "rule 34". :w00t:

Seriously though, if it happened (which I agree, the article didn't give reason to why they think it did) it was most likely the neanderthals dragging modern humans to their caves. They weren't real lookers, were they?
