Did Neanderthals Have Sex with Modern Humans?

Here is an article that I found rather interesting. In the scriptures it states the following:

Gen 4:14-17 Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, [that] every one that findeth me shall slay me. And the LORD said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold. And the LORD set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill him. And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

And again...

Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

The questions in these passages is 1) where did these other people come from for Cain to marry, and 2) what is meant by the sons of God versus the women of men? Could these be the Neanderthals-another race of creatures but not on the same level and God-breathed beings?

Of course they did. Remember Bill and Monica?

No doubt. Ted Kennedy and various human waitresses...

There is an interesting Christian fiction series on Nephilum. Very distracting stuff tho, like the end times, easy to lose focus of your primary mission.

Cue photo of Helen Thomas.

See the thread posted a little earlier “The Greatest Friday night mugshot I’ve ever seen on ‘The Smoking Gun’”

There you will see the child born of this loving union.

“Roughly 30,000 years ago, the Neanderthals disappeared, although pockets might have survived until as recently as 24,000 years ago. Since they vanished just as modern humans were emerging there, scientists have long speculated that we might have driven their extinction.”

“driven their extinction”/ What run over by a SUV?

The main difficulty here is that by the time the Hebrews began discussing the issue the Neanderthals had been gone for 10,000 or so years.

Now that doesn't mean the stories themselves don't have a very early ~ even Ice Age ~ origin, but there are few such tales. (Lot, his wife and the visit to the area of Sodom may be such a story).

Eventually some smart guys somewhere will figure out the references to this one.

Democrats are Exhibit A.

My wife, a “Modern Human”, says her Neanderthal does.

Remember Bill and Monica?

They are people too.

"Did Neanderthals Have Sex with Modern Humans?"

YES.

[AZ .44 MAG]

According to my wife the answer is “Yes”. And as recently as days ago.

And I still do as often as she wants me to.

[johnandrhonda]

don’t forget Paris Hilton...

[Gator113]

Yes, but only after drinking too much.

[madison10]

You really have to make that photo morph into a neanderthal. I mean it’s already so close...

[tiger63]

Perfect way to explain Bozo and his “wookie” stinking up the White House!

Is that how we got ‘Me-shell’? Just wonderin’.
