Neanderthals and modern humans mated 50,000 years earlier than we thought, scientists say.

About twenty years ago while taking an anthropology class, I remember clearly suggesting to my professor of possible sharing of DNA. It was so obvious to me, in fact I truly believe this combination of traits gave rise to our success in the world.

By dating it that far back, you are now back to the multi-regional evolution hypothesis.

Would that explain the pentatonic scale? It developed in Europe first where there is a higher percentage of Neanderthal DNA.

Here's the authoress of this piece.
I imagine she gets *many* offers or solicitations to mate:

If you look, there is an article titled “Neanderthals Sang Like Sopranos,” I believe.
And now for the woo-woo factor ...
While the standard theory of dating Egyptian Old Kingdom artifacts and specifically the complex at Giza date to only 2800 BC or so there is some evidence (mostly suppressed, as is much about the Old Kingdom) that the structures are far older - in the range of over 20,000 BC at the earliest (climate modeling and Nile river position). This puts both the complex at Giza and the Neanderthal late disappearance date close. I only mention this because most people do no know that the Pyramids at the complex are resonate structures such that when inside, vocal tones become ever-varying songs ...

Whose to say ... posssible but then there are other scales - of which I only know exist, but nothing more.

> Because of the way the larynx is positioned in the Neanderthal throat, they had high voices and âsang sopranoâ and may have âsung,â not in words, which would have been difficult, but in tones ... places with naturally resonating harmonics would have been important to them, if the preceding is true, as such properties amplify and modulate tones.

Or more likely, the photographer was so enamored of her décolletage, he forgot to include all the rest of her in the picture.
"Hey, *I'M* up here" and all that...

Maybe they were all taken up to the mother ship? I only say that because that’s the theory Mr. Mercat and I have about squirrels and their nests.
