Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Those that don't have time to read the whole article, I think this is the highlight of it:
Quote:
Researchers compared the Neanderthal genome with the genomes of five living people: one San from southern Africa, one Yoruba from West Africa, one Papua New Guinean, one Han Chinese and one French person. Scientists discovered that 1% to 4% of the latter three DNA samples is shared with Neanderthals.
the point is that after the Neatherthals broke away from the human evolutionary lineage (ie: they became their own sub-species), they and the further developed humans intermingled and sexed thus us having Neaderthal-specific DNA in our bodies.
they're not saying that we have a common DNA because we have a common ancestor.

"It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good ... They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time. "

Churchill believes our early contact with our shrunken, strange-looking cousins was probably complex and varied and was likely one of many factors that led to their extinction. "I suspect that interactions were different all over the place, much like the European colonizers had different interaction with other races. In some places the interaction was peaceful and there was interbreeding and cultural exchange, and in other places it was pretty violent." In other words, the Neanderthals may have disappeared, but the species that Shanidar 3 came into contact with in his Iraqi home — a creature capable of both cooperation and violent confrontation — is most certainly the same species that dominates the globe today.
