Of Neanderthals & Homosapiens - The Neanderthal In Most All Of Us

When someone makes a simple mistake, some people call out the person making the mistake by saying, "You Neanderthal!" Growing up this was a typical degrading accusation heard along the way but as it turns out ... this statement might have held more truth than we even knew.

It has been discovered through studies with DNA genomes that interbreading between Neanderthals and Homosapiens did indeed take place and as a result, 1 to 4 percent of the genes carried by non-African people are traceable to the much-caricatured, belittled, and large-browed cavemen.

So now when one makes a mistake and gets accused of being a Neanderthal, if the person has Caucasian DNA, one has to ask ... are they the one, two, three, or four percent type of Neanderthal?

Study: Neanderthals Interbred With Homosapiens

The findings was the result of the comparison of the genomes of modern human and the burly and big-brained Neanderthal conducted by geneticist Svante Pääbo at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany. The findings were published Thursday in the journal Science.
----
Neanderthal originated from Europe, Russia and the Middle East. They existed 400,000 to 30,000 years ago. Modern humans are said to have originated from Africa and the two species encountered each other in the Middle East and limited interbreeding occurred.

Pääbo constructed the Neanderthal genome using fossil DNA from three Neanderthal women who lived in Croatia between 38,000 and 45,000 years ago.

All this study really proves is that it's love ... that makes the Oblate Spheroid go around, you big lugg!

FOUND!

The reason why the stock market tanked nearly 1,000 points in less than one hour, yesterday!

It is being reported that a mistake was made with the entering of a sell stock transaction - "Billion" was "Million" was the order sending the stock market into a tailspin.

Neanderthals!

Grandpa was roaming around the woods as a young man, bored to tears. He heard some rustling in the leaves nearby. He stood silent until he caught a glimpse of her.

There she was, not appearing like the toothless hags of the regular tribe. She was different with that low forehead and those bushy eyebrows. She was well endowed too.

So, instead of running away as he had been taught by his parents, he ambled gently toward her.

She grinned widely, as it was love at first sight.

"Want to exchange some DNA," Grandpa asked?

With that, she knocked him to the ground.
