" I really think a person could recreate a neanderthal or a cro magnon with a breeding program of existing living human beings. Just round up all the individuals with neanderthalish traits and start selectively breeding them. In about 20 generations you will have one."

I agree.

I've repeatedly said that all the attributes that make a Neanderthal can be found in the human population today.We are Neanderthals.

The brow ridges of the Australian Aboriginies is more severe than the Neanderthals.

It does appear, though, that the neanderthalish traits are getting scarcer. It seems to me the human genome is shrinking and people all over the world are becoming more similar to each other. My theory is that technology and globalization has caused the distinct cultures around the world to coalesce their concept of an “ideal” appearance. Fashion trends and “beauty” are becoming unified concepts that don’t vary so much from one place to the next. I think this has an effect on the way humans breed and ends up being similar effect as if someone was actually selectively breeding them against their will.
