Neanderthals may have been wiped out due to INTERBREEDING and not because of a lack of intelligence

my understanding is that what is more important for intelligence is not the size of the brain, per se, but the number of folds on the surface.

men and women are driven by and obsessive about different things. the thought processes for the two genders are entirely different. both genders, however, are capable of deeply-flawed, self-destructive behavior. one of the huge problems in the culture right now is that we’re looking at male behavioral flaws and congratulating ourselves that women don’t display them. the larger, and more appropriate, question is what behavioral flaws are innate to the female gender.

Not teleported. The two authors use the term ‘splash saltation’ to indicate animals (including humans) and plant life being carried across bodies in the ancient system by the vortices of the ancient Birkeland currents which existed between the bodies in those times. At least that’s one possibility. More interesting is the claim they make about the relationship between Cro Magnon man and the antediluvian people of the Bible, and the reason for the huge gap in those two cultures and technologies.

Have you noticed that when we grew up that those who were going to take themselves out the gene pool were pretty evident.

Aside from the fact that mankind took a rather dim view of those outside of the Clan and took harsh measures against them.

They also took a rather harsh view of those that did not conform to the norm with in the Clan. We have lost that.

Unless the woman was smoking hot I think that the inter breeder had a life that was Nasty, Brutish, and Short along with the members of her family, tribe, and collateral relatives.

"I had my DNA tested also. "

If you don't know what is your haplogroup then you wasted your money.(IMO)

The 8% was from my mother. She didn't have a clue but it might explain why I like rice so much. :o)

Heh. Yeah... I'm 99% Northern European/British Isles (this includes the Neanderthal) but we found a 1% Sub-saharan explanation for my butt.

I have always been of the opinion that my late husband of Scots ancestry had significant Neanderthal genetics. He was massive boned, short legged, long torsoed, very muscular, red hair and light blue eyes, very hairy all over including his shoulder, weak chin, faint brow ridges, quick temper and warrior mentality. He also had a mans growth at age 13. What traits do you have that you felt made you part cavewoman?

Some of the same: blue eyes, hair brown but reddish in the sun, long waist, muscular frame, and with a real tendency toward the blunt approach, particularly in romantic matters. (Dragging someone back to the cave by the hair always seemed like a perfectly understandable approach to me.) I'm also a big fan of revenge, and vigilante justice.

My family used to laugh at my tendency to want to fix malfunctioning equipment with a hammer... whatever the problem, beating the crap out of it will either fix it or teach it a lesson, I felt. And I could never open a box of dried goods correctly, or even at the right end. To this day, I cannot operate most technology. It takes me a year to figure out a new cellphone and I am NOT getting a smart phone because I don't need anything in my purse that's smarter than I am.

Now of course, most of this, an anthropology professor would tell you, is not how they'd describe a Neanderthal. But it's how I'd describe a cave man (well, cave woman) and I came to the conclusion in my 20s that I'm part cave woman. Then, as I said, I had my DNA tested and I really do have a higher percentage than the vast majority of humanity. Higher even than the majority of Europeans.

Lol.
Big butts abound throughout this earthly orb. No culture corners the market on them. I lived in the middle east five years and saw SO many humungous butts--LARGE female Arab butts! Wow. I felt like Skinny Minnie and I AIN'T! :O)
