Neandertal brains were significantly larger than ours — however, they also had more rugged bodies, and a larger nervous system is needed just to generate the juice to make everything move. Whether the genes get passed down would be reliant on random chance. :^o
That’s the Replacement Master Race narrative, it comes directly from the UK. Ignore it, it’s based entirely on their out-of-Africa Darwin-said-it-I-believe-it biases.
I’ll make a wild guess that, besides the Denisovans (they showed up in my DNA as well, I was surprised to say the least) and the “Hobbits”, there will probably be further discoveries, that’s just a consequence of going out and looking for them. It’ll be great when, in what will probably be a very few years, the Erectus genomes start to emerge from their remains. Human variety emerged from isolation, which concentrated randomly inherited chromosomes, and give or take mutaions.
The Chinese don't like those scrutinized, but given the cultural remains (fabrics including tartans) along with their physical characteristics, they are at the very least, cousins of modern Europeans. Indo-Europeans came from Central Asia.
Not that I know of. One visitor noticed a finger- or thumbprint on a pot found with some of the remains. The Chinese translator asked the visitor, “is it possible to determine ethnicity from a fingerprint?” (it’s not) The visitor answered that they didn’t know. A few minutes later the pot was nowhere to be found.
I’m not a gamer except for pinball!
Whoops, thank goodness blam is here. See his link in message 35!
It would still be a very fun study.
I’m a gamer, but it’s getting so expensive to keep computing power capable of new releases. VR’s going to make it worse.
My Real Brother has gone all his life believing he was at least half-Portuguese, and when his DNA came back, he was full-on Irish with a smattering of other nationalities. It saved me the expense of having one done!
However, I would get it out and look at it except that I’m packing to move out of state and the DNA is packed with other papers. Somewhere... :o|
I wonder if you sent in the same two samples with one under the name of either “DeShawn or DeAndre” and the other with either “Bob or Frank” if you would receive the same results from the mail order DNA service.
Well, I suppose that would depend on whether “DeShawn or DeAndre” and “Bob or Frank” were female. ;o]
