"The new investigation also finds that Asians and South Americans possess more Neandertal genes than Europeans do"

That's suprising.

All this from a finger bone and a tooth.

“...South Americans possess more Neandertal genes than Europeans do...”

My goodness!!!!

(I am trying to find a way to be more sarcastic, but I am too busy killing myself laughing.)

I live in Latin America. These folks can’t pull their fabricated wool over my eyes.

P.S.

Anybody for global warming?

Actually, it became obvious a couple of years ago ~ you get washed out by a tsunami with an immense amount of debris (in the old days trees) and you manage to survive the currents will take you to South America in just over a year, or to Meso America in just under 2 years.

A smart well-equipped stone ager could survive! With just about 800 such tsunamis in any 3,000 year period, an awful lot of folks could be shipped over ~ and they would be just like the East Asians back home.

There is no need for a landbridge in Alaska!

No wonder the Neanderthals went to S.America, after a winter of wearing the same smelly animal skins being able to run around in a loin cloth would seem pretty good.

Starting to look like the Neandertals were the smart ones ....
