All Non-Africans are Part Neanderthal - Genetics Confirm

If your heritage is non-African, you are part Neanderthal, according to a new study in the July issue of Molecular Biology and Evolution. Discovery News has been reporting on human/Neanderthal interbreeding for some time now, so this latest research confirms earlier findings.


Damian Labuda of the University of Montreal's Department of Pediatrics and the CHU Sainte-Justine Research Center conducted the study with his colleagues. They determined some of the human X chromosome originates from Neanderthals, but only in people of non-African heritage.

Wow! Apparently, the only "true" humans are black! This might stuff some crow into some people's mouths.

Seriously Omar?? You’ve never ridden down the road with a goat holding onto your back??? Come on!

Well that completes my family tree, explains allot like that Jay Leno chin I have. Then what about Aborigines, Asians, and Canadians? :uhyeah:

 

[clfsean]

No... they're just part Cylon.

No... they're just part Cylon.

You mean they are from Wisconsin?

 

[Omar B]

Ya know Ken, my whole first 16 years on both sets of grandparents farms in Jamaica and it's never happened once. Yeah, we did have goats too.

I read a book called the Genesis Secret and it dealt in just this subject. It points to the believe that the People from the North along with all their Children were the Nephilim from the Bible. It's a goog read anyhow.

[mook jong man]

I'm not , I'm full Neanderthal.

My prediction?

Calling someone a "neanderthal" will no longer be insulting. It will refer to their sturdiness, or some such.......:lfao:

LOL, like ....

nah, so not going there.....

[Makalakumu]

Somehow, I always knew that I was part caveman. lol!

 

[punisher73]

Anyone else find it strange that their sample size to declare this was only 5 people?

 

[crushing]

**** Geico!

That's not a great sample size, it has to be said.

It is something that has been hypothesised for quite a long time, tho' and it's certainly not something I'd be offended by if it happened to be globally true. The Neanderthal might not have been the worlds greatest innovators or communicators but they did remarkably well under extreme environmental conditions for a very long time. It was only when the adventurous homo sapien souls finally made it up into Europe that the Neanderthal got into real trouble. Homo Sapien missile weapon use and inate aggression out-competed the Neaderthal and our tendency to form interlinked communities across distances squeezed them out of their territory.

. Homo Sapien missile weapon use and inate aggression out-competed the Neaderthal and our tendency to form interlinked communities across distances squeezed them out of their territory.

Hmm. Not so sure we can make that assertion with such certainty. Neanderthals fashioned spears as well, and the superiority of spear throwers like the atlatl didn't come about until about 15000-10000 B.C. Neanderthals didn't survive much past about 24000 years ago, so human weaponry wasn't really that superior.

We were probably, however, better endurance runners-which led to the community interconnectivity, as well as making us superior hunters. I'm not so sure that was "the" deciding factor as much as other, more human traits that we're all familiar with today, like our capacity for deception.
