Clara Amit/Israel Antiquities Authority --The owner of this 55,000-year-old partial skull may have been ready for romance with Neandertals.

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
in local libraries

"Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

The headline made me think it was a story of how muzlims came to be.

M.E. Muslims are still trying to interbreed with farm animals.

[GOYAKLA]

No further proof needed to say, conclusively, “ Michael Moore was adopted”!

[miss marmelstein]

This was debunked two weeks ago!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bluejean]

Yep. Explains the existence of muzzies.

“M.E. Muslims are still trying to interbreed with farm animals.”

Well, some animals are ruled “unclean”. so they’re at least working on reducing the practice...

[PeteePie]

Pointless; they inbreeding now.

[central_va]

Neanderthal chicks are easy.

[Pikachu_Dad]

How so?

[Genoa]

They’re not the kind you would want to bring home, though.

Humans and Neandertals likely interbred in Middle East probably in one of those Beirut casinos, probably Casino Du Liban.

What Happens in Beirut Stays in Beirut, well, at least for 60,000 years, anyway.

It was all over FR and the newspapers that the German scientist who determined that humans and Neanderthals lived at the same time and bred, made it all up with false data.

“Humans and Neandertals likely interbred in Middle East”

Thus the origin of the idea that females were only to be used as “breeding stock”, and not as a help meet for the founding of home and family.

A concept widely embraced by the world of Islam. The entire female gender is given short shrift, being deemed a very inferior sort of human being.

LOL!

And that would be a good place to look, the name Beirut means “the wells”, as in fresh water.

There are not enough neanderthal caucuses to account for 2% of ones DNA form 50,000 years ago. 2% of my dna comes form more like 5 generations ago rather than 1000 generations ago. Non scientific goofs sure believe in anything.

Humans and Neandertals did interbred that is how we got Democrats like Reed.

[miss marmelstein]

Oh, this is way over my head! But I do know that this story has been debunked.
