I was hoping for a joke, too. Something about a guy who hooks up with a cavewoman.

What I heard was the report said that they found that 1 percent to 4 percent of the genes of SOME Asians and Europeans came from Neanderthals but it was only a portion of the population. This abuses the previous claim by cultural anthropologists that H. Sapiens and Neanderthals did not inter-breed, which that they actually did is what I have thought all along.

tpitcher -- "i don't recall adam & eve being neanderthal".haha.good one.
to expand on that, a "fairy tale" forum would have to be created, since religious topics are forbidden.it's too bad, because it would make for good discussion, as long as the posts were intellligent in nature.

Waaaaaaaaale ..that's a norse of a different color! Why didn't you say so?
I'm thinking they got down with natives: get down!!
We are going from great diversity in plants and animals , to less and less.
What would some future bone digger think if he was presented with the remains of current Aboriginal Australians, 7+ foot tall African Masai, Pygmies, and other widely diverse humans?
Would she automatically assume and take the approach that they evolved from each other like many do today?

How it is than that our ancestors managed to gradually eliminate them?

Bigger brains do not equate to more intelligence. It has already been proven, but I don't have a reference.
How were the neanderthals eliminated? If someone believes that they were eliminated, then it may be the same reason as why the intelligent people in the US are being eliminated by lower intelligent foreigners coming across the border. A large influx of invaders intermingles with the population and interbreeds until there are no more of the original species. There are very few original American Indians left, and I think there is only 1 original Australian Aborigines left in the world, unless he already died.

I think because of the massive burning of wood with the newly discovered invention "fire", the Homo Sapiens created climate change that lead to the extinction of the Neanderthal. Isn't that what they teach in public schools now?
Actually, according to Discovery Channel they were less mobile because of body structure, and apparently didn't have the apparatus to communicate well through the spoken word, both major disadvantages when competing with H.S. They also were not as advanced in the use of tools, demonstrated by the fact they stuck with Macintosh, and didn't switch over to the PC with a Windows operating system. Wait, that was another Discovery Channel show.
Suffice it to say, they were significantly different from H.S. Modern man kills over such minor differences such as skin color. Ancient man probably didn't have as developed of a moral structure as modern man, and probably killed them off to eliminate competitors.

Good one.
I think the Nea-ander-dalls were in search of less hairy brown women. Unfortunately as is typical of man's social engineering feats there were some unintended side effects.
Google hairy women.

Prolly ate 'em, That is why there aren't any intact Neanderthal skeletons.
