Signs of Neanderthals Mating With Humans
New York Times ^ | 5/6/10 | NICHOLAS WADE

Posted on 05/06/2010 3:45:02 PM PDT by antidemoncrat

Neanderthals mated with some modern humans after all and left their imprint in the human genome, a team of biologists has reported in the first detailed analysis of the Neanderthal genetic sequence.

Ummm, just thinking here.

If ‘Evolution’ is true, then we are the decendants of Neanderthals, right? Thus, Homo Sapiens was a mutation that was ‘successful’ and from a single mutation, Homo Sapiens emerged as the dominant species - eventually wiping Neanderthal out.

So, if we had a single mutation - for the mutation to propogate wouldn’t it be impossible for that mutation NOT to spread without interaction with Neanderthal? Further, if Homo Sapiens is a mutation, how could our DNA not contain Neanderthal code - as that would be the logical progenator.

This is about as amazing as saying that a child has DNA similar to that found in his parents.

Not new to me...I've always believed this.

An unknown, extinct human was just found in Siberia...we (living humans) have his DNA too. How many more like him are out there?

Oh, don't be silly.

There are some things even a Neanderthal won't do.

Ping. Maybe we should ask a Neanderthal.

The thought it that for the most part modern humans and Neaderthals were separate branches of the humanoid family. There was some mixing, apparently, but it would be more correct to say that Neanderthals and modern humans each evolved from a common ancester, and not too far back in each line, or they could not have interbred. A donkey and a zebra can interbreed, as can a wolf and a coyote. Doesn't happen much, but it can.

I remember those signs from The Flintstones. "Please Don't Mate With The Neanderthals."
