Neanderthal had larger brains, so a little dose of their chromosomes may not be a bad thing.

I submit that "I'd hit that" might be older than "So easy even a caveman can do it."

By the way, the article didn't say whether they could tell which way the coupling went--male Neanderthal, female Cro-magnon, or the other way around. Either way, it's hard to tell if it was love or rape from a distance of 75,000 years.

"100,000 to 60,000 years ago"

This would suggest that it was the first [successful] exodus out of Africa by modern humans that mixed a bit with Neanderthals. Which also suggests that most non-African people have ancestry from this first exodus, and not just the second one. Although homo sapiens Europeans were living among Neanderthals for a while, maybe their Neanderthal ancestry comes from that rather than from a Middle Eastern dispersal of the first group.

We're in the latest topic, there have been four this week, and back on the 22nd Pharmboy posted the first (I believe) of the latest spate. Here's the archival list, and I think this is close to all of them, drawn from the four usual keywords (neandertal, neandertals, neanderthal, neanderthals):

Yeah, I love doin’ that. :’) Eventually, the goal is, to spend a couple of days NOT reading or hammin’ it up in political topics, and check all those to make sure they’re in the GGG keyword and have the standard message in ‘em. But not today. ;’)

You ever hear the old saying -

“In days of old when knights were bold, and rubbers weren’t invented,
they wrapped old socks around their cocks, and babies were prevented.”

What would Hitler be like with a larger brain?
That much more insane? And look at what a large head our Chief Clown in the Whitehouse has.

Large brains do not determine intellegence alone. We would be working for elephants otherwise.
