And what is your evidence that Vendramini's opinions about the DNA are more valid than my postman's? Looking for his educational credentials just turns up that he's a "self educated scholar".

When it comes to DNA any difference whatsoever is IMPORTANT and SIGNIFCANT.
Otherwise you might really be mistaken for a chimpanzee or gorilla.
Fire becomes exceedingly dangerous. That’s why human beings DO NOT HAVE FUR COATS. You gots to be a hot momma to get one of them ya’ know.
So, in the story of Sodom and Gomorrah we find an original rule handed down by God to the daughters of men ~ the rest of the story is comedic relief and instruction in the pitfalls that can occur to the unwary.
She let Lot take her to a town full of gay guys. Well, right there's the end of that tale. Next thing you know they're all fleeing for their lives to get away from God's fury.
I bet you somebody out there thinks the gay guys are the focus of the story ~ and not the moral obligation of the woman to tend to her daughters needs so that the generations of men may be long on the Earth.
Well, there you go ~ Gloria Steinhem would understand this one.
“In other words, there are distinct genetic differences between African and non-African populations, and these differences include genes that affect IQ. The researchers better be prepared to be burned at the stake once these findings are absorbed by the general public. “
I read “The Bell Curve” shortly after it came out. Highly documented, shows black average IQ of 85.
There are significant differences in physical types, so why not mental types?
Conservatives knew all along that being Neanderthal would turn out to be a good thing!!
Right now it looks like they may be responsible for a 40pt IQ advantage for the Chinese, and a bit less of an advantage for Europeans.
Very slight small men mainly from East Africa have dominated long distance running, and I believe they have a physical advantage.
More muscular blacks have dominated sprints, again I believe in part due to physical advantage. (Increasingly also evident in basketball, football, soccer (futbol) and to some extent even baseball.)
Fortunately sports are free of “affirmative action” and therefore we can readily make these observations.
Similar to physical capabilities, I believe the same racial differences are very likely in mental capabilites, in spite of liberal-feel-good objections.
Thomas Sowell even objects, and I sympathize with his desire that it not be so, but he alone doesn’t convince me.
People lived there.
They had to develop the characteristics needed to survive in an alpine climate. Those are the little guys.
If you follow cross country skiing, that's dominated by Sa'ami, all well adapted to subarctic climate conditions! They have a high incidence of dwarfism albeit not that you'd notice, and there are people who will beat you up for saying anything about it!
Only if the variation is PROVEN to be a result of Neanderthal DNA, which it hasnt been. Saying that 1% to 3% of some DNA marker is shared by Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens is meaningless if the DNA marker in question exists in the Homo Sapiens population at an equal or higher rate anyway, which it might very well do.
They need more research and bigger sample sizes before they can draw conclusions like this.
Modern humans differ very little from one another when it comes to genes. Our biggest differences seem to be a consequence of epigenetics ~
btw, Neanderthals are classified as “Homo sapiens neanderthalensis” and you and I are probably classified as “Homo sapiens sapiens” ~ in the same genus.
“The little guys who dominate long distance running ALL come from highland areas that abut Kilamanjaro Volcano ~ during the last Ice Age that mountain was covered with glaciers. Those highlands were well watered with melting ice, and had a temperate climate.

Might have a trace of laplander blood myself (via Sweden). Compact body, short libs (to avoid heat loss, etc).
I ran several marathons, some under 3 hours with a wrestler’s build—good long distance endurance.
Last winter olympics there were three kinds of skiers in the cross country ~ Laps(Sa'ami), Norse, and Others.
One of the "Others", a German guy, kept up pretty well with the Sa'ami until he overheated toward the end. They crushed him.
I watched guys going UPHILL 55 MPH in that race ~ at the end.
That's how humans were able to hunt the Arctic/subarctic regions' fastest animal ~ the Reindeer.
They could ski up hill, then come downhill at the animals MUCH faster than they could escape. You do that for a few hundred years and you can undercut the biological support system for the big cats, bears and wolves.
Once again, that’s not what Neanderthals looked like.
Vendramini doesn’t have a reconstruction, he’s got a full-blown free-form fantasy. He’ll probably be able to option it for a picture, maybe to Bollywood.
That really crude giant fake nostrils pic was also on some ‘blog in Australia.
:’) Thanks!

Thanks Renfield. For those who miss Wendy1946, who got banned late last year and no one told me (found out by accident a few weeks back), we've got another ranter about Neandertal.To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127] |

Renee Zellweger is part lap/Saami.
Wow. Aussies must have really big fingers!
