The current state of Russian science is interesting to say the least. Two diametrically opposed papers on Neanderthals in the same day. Pour another vodka, comrade!

Would you Like your daughter to marry a Neanderthal? I think it came down to that, why marry diner?

The average strength of these guys were about 30 percent stronger than our best decathalete. Not somebody you want to get into an argument with.

Strength is not necessarily decisive. If, for example, our ancestors were able to run faster, or throw spears farther or more accurately, we could have killed groups of Neanderthals before they could get close enough to use their strength.

It doesn't stop the people who like screwing sheep and goats.

That might be the source of gene mixture: young Neanderthal girls captured and used as slaves.

I think that if you did not like the father the daughter would, except for a funny feeling, would not be up on the procreation list. Young Girls, as close as I can read history, were for the extension of the family, blood will out.
