because these groups apparently descend from the cavemen:

"At the same time, the genome sequence does provide evidence that humans and Neanderthals have interbred. This became apparent when the Neanderthal genome was paired against human genomes from different parts of the globe. The Neanderthal DNA consistently matched European and Asian samples better than it did African; the difference was small, but consistent. It suggested that the Neanderthals, which were restricted to Europe and Asia at the time modern humans originated in Africa, had interbred with humans once they began migrating out of Africa. "

humans and neanderthals were both cavemen at the time.

Your mom was a caveman.

I like that song they play in the background in the one commercial where the dude hits the remote control and starts a fire in the fireplace

Nice topic title

anybody know what song that is? its pretty pimp

I'm not surprised we fucked 'em(better than sheep, right!), I'm just surprised the unholy spawn wasn't infertile.

I wonder if this will be in any white supremacist newsletters. Of course, you could argue that the intense environmental and genetic stresses(including their occasional interbreeding) made caucasians more adaptable, while subsaharan africans faced little impetus to change or evolve.

It’s possible a large amount were. not all mules are infertile, but mules don’t exist enough in nature to be considered their own species.

and that white-supremacist reasoning doesn’t hold up still either, because those genes exist in native Africans, just not in large amounts, and just because Africans in Africa are less likely to have them doesn’t mean blacks in America are (because Ben Franklin isn’t the only one to be a slave rapist). And further, thinking like a white supremacist, if a “primitive" african and a “primitive" neanderthal bone to have the “superior" european/asian, then wouldn’t that mean that a european/asian boning an African could result in something superior to either?

a better question would ask what sort of shit-storm would befall the publishers of this report had they discovered that it was in fact africans who were more closely related to primitive man.

or even, wait till the media figures out that this report is published in a way that suggests it concludes that neanderthals were better breeding partners than africans of the same time-frame

I think that the real scenario would have been an ugly homo sapien female going out to the bar with a bunch of neanderthal females so that she would be the pretty one in the group. Invariably some caveman was playing wingman and ended up banging one her neanderthal friends.

^^^^interesting, thanks for the knowledge

i said the geiko gecko was my most annoying commercial character/spokesman in that thread

the cavemen always crack me up though, just their facial expressions and reactions to the "so easy..." stuff

although i thought the tv show was a terrible idea

i just get sick of hearing an australian/british/south african accent tell me about the 15 minutes 15% shit hundreds and hundreds of times

^lol

I haven’t read the full article, but where does it suggest this?

It seems to suggest than as africans moved to europe, they bred with the locals (neanderthals), and their offspring eventually became some of the europeans and AZNs.

ITT we are all Africans.


neanderthal women… she definitely has AZN/european qualities

I've always heard that relations were always very poor between the two.

Supposedly (if I remember my discovery/history channel right) the neanderthals were stronger but the humans have more dexterity and could throw spears, thus would usually win wars against neanderthal tribes.
