Title: Neanderthal
Post by: Holden McGroin on May 14, 2003, 10:12:37 PM
From Yahoo news

  WASHINGTON (AFP) - Today's humans are not genetic relatives of Neanderthals, an Italian study suggests.    

Cro-Magnon man won out over Neanderthal man, but without genetic mixing, Italian researcher Giorgio Bertorelle and his team report in the US Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (news - web sites).

The report lends evidence to the theory that anatomically modern humans emerged from Africa some 150,000 years ago and eventually displaced earlier humans, such as Neanderthals in Europe, but without mixing.

They extracted DNA from the skeletons of two anatomically modern Cro-Magnon men (Homo sapiens sapiens), who inhabited Europe between 23,000 and 25,000 years ago.

I don't believe it because it would mean Darryl Hannah and the Clan of the Cave Bear was not historically accurate.

Obviously untrue. How else can you explain Ripsnort if we didn't mix with Neanderthals?:D

the Neanderthal strain could still be running pure and unmixed;)

There is a fellow at work, from the Ukrain, who looks frighteningly similar to neanderthals depicted in modern science mags.

I believe there was definately some screwing going on between horny Cro-Magnon men and neanderthal ladies.  This russian dude is proof!

In the USN OCS, my call sign was Cro-Magnon, due mostly to the shape of my head, once it had been shaved!  :D

I believe Mietla's avatar speaks for itself.  Neanderthals are alive and well.
