Monica Lewinsky’s ancestors were Neanderthals?

Maybe they embraced the gay and transgender lifestyle and just stopped breeding...like we are doing today.

What, the Neanderthals were actually “Homo sapiens”? No way.

Well, it was said of our time that it would be “as in the days of Noah”.

OMG....there was interbreeding between neanderthals and modern humans??? What the heck was going on when the various people met each other?????

And did modern humans overwhelm Neanderthals in the gene pool, so that Neanderthal traits became recessive genes??

Interesting.

Good question. How did Neanderthals treat their lesbian gay bisexual and transgendered members?

Geez can you imagine how crude the sex change operations were back in those days.,........

Not to worry. They used the most up to date technology.

In conflicts among humans, it is common to take female captives as sex slaves. I would imagine that, before modern humans wiped out the Neanderthals, they kept some of the more attractive women and they produced children.

There’s some speculation (reasonable) that Neanderthal genes contributed to immune system development in humans in the areas they lived.

modern humans interbred with Neandertals

Thus was born Lazzus Erectus

I know where most of the Neanderthal genes went.
