Neanderthals, Humans Interbred—First Solid DNA Evidence -Most of us have some Neanderthal genes

[Just mythoughts]

Delusional drivel. Evolution through natural selection of genetic variation in no way implies that we are “gods”. Anti science zealots can never seem to agree on if acceptance of evolution demeans humanity or elevates humanity. There is much evidence that this Earth is of FINITE but of great age. There is no evidence at all that it is “ageless”. Humans have been around in their present form for at least 100,000 years. Before that we see lots of different types of hominids that are clearly human like, but just as clearly NOT human. Your claims are based upon your own delusions and wishful thinking about what you want to believe, and you are apparently willing to ignore any and all evidence that doesn't conform to what you want to believe.

Time will tell who is bent on illusions and delusions.

IF what is claimed happened there would be mounds and mounds of Neanderthal bones, and there is NOT. There is no evidence that shows direct lineage or ancestry from a so called Neanderthal of 30,000 years ago to flesh human beings.

Oh and when I used the word ageless regarding how old this earth is, is because there is no way for any one to state with assuredly the literal age of this earth. I do not know how long ago Lucifer that morning star rebelled and this earth became void and without form. I read he garnered himself quite a following back then as well.

"Neanderthals, Humans Interbred..."

I can dig it!...

I mean, in an anthropological sort of way, of course. ;-)

So to you “ageless” means of indeterminable age rather than eternal. OK Humpty Dumpty.

There are mounds and mounds of Neanderthal bones in Europe, the lack of a suitable number of fossil remains is a rather ignorant and lame dodge. There is evidence that shows direct lineage of the “so called” Neanderthal to modern humans, that is what this entire thread is about, the evidence.

Moreover, there is DNA evidence that Neanderthals are not human. So the “so called” Neanderthal is, both by morphology and DNA, distinctly not human.

But if you look for supernatural explanations for physical phenomena there is no reasoning with you because you do not have an outlook based upon reason.

Your inability to deal with evidence is quite indicative of your unreasonable theological outlook.

The anatomical differences between Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon or modern man are very striking. If you were to compare them side by side, you could not help but notice the differences. Not only are they anatomically different, but they are physiologically different, for instance at least 80% of Neanderthal diet was meat, while only about 16% of modern man's diet is meat. The skeletal structure is different, not to mention the size of Neantherthal’s brain is larger than modern man's brain. Are these similar genes junk-DNA or do they actually produce protein? If an offspring from inbreeding with a modern man and a Neanderthal did occur, would not natural selection “weed out” such progeny?

The so called evidence does nothing of the sort. IT is by human proclamation there is a connection... simply because of similarity in DNA. Wonder now did the DNA describe these apes having green eyes or was that artist rendition just more of the faux data made to delude ape brains.

The evidence is real, not “so called” and it does indicate that clearly Neanderthals are not human in morphology or DNA.

What is even clearer is that these things are closer related to human beings than any living species.

Science has an explanation that shows how all this data makes perfect sense. But obviously, unless someone works “the morning star” into a miraculous explanation, you are not interested.

Hard to reason with someone who isn't looking for a reasonable explanation, but a supernatural theological explanation. No amount of physical evidence is ever going to convince you that your theological opinion is incorrect, is it?

It seems that this article is just an opinion piece as there is no scientific paper out on these people. There are about 20 DNA studies of Neanderthal and only one had any hint similar DNA and that was thought to be a mistake on the human that handled the specimen.

Still waiting.

There is NOT one shred of evidence of interbreeding. Claiming a so call 'relationship' is pure imagination, as in one descending from an 'garden party' activity.

Science is code word for 'gods' of knowledge claiming interpretation of very limited evidence as meaning what is being claimed as fact.

What can there possibly be to reason? I am required to accept as 'gospel' evolution, because that is the man made standard. Nothing outside of that basic premise is considered as having reason.... But maybe when BamBamKennedy and his administration gets fully implemented these that are without reason might begin to question why they accepted such folly.
