Are modern humans part neanderthal ?

A second period of interbreeding is suggested by the fact that the researchers measured even more genetic diversity among people of Oceanic descent – people from Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and other Pacific islands. I find this the most interesting part of the study. First thing that leaps to mind is the Hobbit/Homo floresiensis, which would be very fascinating if true! It would also, if I understand correctly, confirm the Hobbit as a seperate species from HSS.

Explains where Cain got his wife from. For a little further insight into that idea, man's origins and just who intermingled with what, you might read this, a little history for a different perspective. Brain Chatter, Final vaccination ~ The Prologue

For a little further insight into that idea, man's origins and just who intermingled with what, you might read this, a little history for a different perspective. Brain Chatter, Final vaccination ~ The Prologue The hilarious thing is that the website itself actually states that what you posted is the prologue to a science fantasy book. As far as that goes, though, it sounds exicting, IMO. But this ain't the thread for it.

I have met a few of them in my lifetime. It's no surprise to me!

Those Geico cave men are going to be p***ed. Remember what Dr. Watson said about those native to Africa? Could the lack of as much genetic diversity as the rest of the world be the root cause for the effects that Watson was admonished for? Just a thought.

This explains the tea bags and the rest of the far right Not really: In 2008, a group of scientists made a study using three-dimensional computer-assisted reconstructions of Neanderthal infants based on fossils found in Russia and Syria, showing that they had brains as large as ours at birth and larger than ours as adults. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal Oops... unless you are a Tea Partier and it wasn't meant as an insult?

duplicate.... stupid satellite feed internet. It appears I have nothing in common with the neanderthal either.

Can't we ever dispose of this worn-out flat-earther wish? Neandertals were a SEPARATE SPECIES of humans from sapiens. They may have had sex, but no fertile offspring. Mules. The variations in almost all N. DNA are way out of line with any modern humans. No other genetic study has ever found any evidence of genetic admixture. Flower children like Milford Wolpoff just won't let go of this because theif careers are based on it and it just seems "neato" to think interbreeding happened. This is a leftover from the Multi-Regional Origins idea that is also dead, but stuffed and talked-too by die-hard... [More]
