WASHINGTON – We have met Neanderthal and he is us — at least a little. The most detailed look yet at the Neanderthal genome helps answer one of the most debated questions in anthropology: Did Neanderthals and modern humans mate?

The answer is yes, there is at least some cave man biology in most of us.

Seems a lot of people know of a family where one of the family members just doesn't look anything at all like the rest of the family, feature wise, and it wasn't due to "wild oats". Heavy brows, peculiar body form, etc. Recessive gene.

Well this helps explain how Obama got elected...

My gene says ug.

I now got excuse for bad behavior! snort!

Que all the folks that will invariably and stupidly make posts
about how “this explains the Democrats” as if a reclusive hunter-gatherer
society would be in favor of supporting non-productive individuals.

Neanderthals were NOTHING like Democrats.

“I’m a Neanderthal Man,

You’re a Neanderthal Girl.....”

OK, somebody out there must remember this song.

Well this helps explain how Obama got elected...

No way any self-respecting Neandertal would have voted for Othugboy!

Hey, Saturday night, closing time...

Some more than others. That explains my neighbors.

That explains why I'm alway's chipping on flint!

Ohhh, I think they say a lot more than that.

[Psalm 144]

I thought we ate them all.

No evidence exists that Neaderthals were not as intelligent as homo sapien sapiens.

They were also stronger.

THey were not, however, as skilled at having babies.

"Que all the folks that will invariably and stupidly make posts about how “this explains the Democrats” as if a reclusive hunter-gatherer society would be in favor of supporting non-productive individuals."

BINGO. Liberals lack physical courage. Pretty much every Neaderthal we have unconvered bear the bone scars to show they did not.

[Caesar Soze]

They couldn’t run as fast as we could. We probably out-hunted them. Or hunted them. Ick.

[Jewbacca]

If I recall, they couldn’t run as fast long term, but could out sprint us.

Also, bigger and stronger is not necessarily better for getting through times of no food. Takes too many calories to haul around a Shwarzennegar body.

[Honorary Serb]

Neither early modern humans nor Neanderthals were anything like obamabots.

For that matter, neither were most of our more recent ancestors, especially those who built America.

obamabots are a degenerate lot, and no one should follow them or let them rule over us!!!!

“Did Neanderthals and humans mate?”

Sure. Evidenced by Congressman Alan Grayson.

Whenever I see that dickhead I think of two words: “Neanderthal” and “troglodyte.”
