Red hair.

Ping.

I have always thought, based on nothing but pure conjecture, that European white skin, blond/red hair, and blue eyes were more attributable to the Neanderthals than to an African origin.

Gotta remember to ask the wife if she has any Neanderthal in her.

Sounds like Jimmy Durante to me. I am not sure what Walter Duranty looked liked but he spelled his name different.
Walter = Jimmy

Apparently, the neanderthal genes in this guy were uber- dominant!

[geezerwheezer]

If the europeans are 5% neanderthal, which 5% are they referring to? France???? (works for me anyway)

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve

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]
