The (presumably black-skinned) African humans inter-bred with Neanderthals (who were likely white skinned). This new hybrid race then eliminated BOTH their original ancestoral lineages from Europe.

Clear evidence that Neanderthals were not terribly intelligent.

Sigh. Neanderthals were as human as any of us posting on FR today.

Actually, the areas with neandertal genes seem to spawn the most successful cultures.

If humans originated in Africa, why don’t Africans have Neanderthal DNA? Are Neanderthals not considered human? I think that as genetic investigation becomes more sophisticated, they are learning that Neandertals may not have originated in Africa.
The current theory is that Neandertal mingling with humans (or Other Humans, if you prefer) happened after the African exodus.
So, humans that remained in Africa lack Neandertal DNA, while the rest of the world has it.
That is... if I understand the theory correctly. I am happy to be educated and/or corrected by smarter Freepers.

Actually, the areas with neandertal genes seem to spawn the most successful cultures. I was kinda sidling up to that sentiment in my post #34, but you took the direct route.
To: SWAMPSNIPER
That, seems to true. Less Neandertal DNA, they’d still be in the “stick age” if not for intervention by those with more...

Thanks afraidfortherepublic, a good weekly Digest ping as well.The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
in local libraries
"Frayer'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]
