"We now know what caused the Neanderthals to die out; a virus turned them into flesh eating zombies." -- Extinction Well Actuallllly.. They did not die out, they were assimilated. Most Europeans have varying amounts of Neanderthal DNA. From 23andme.com Genetic Evidence for Neanderthals From bones like these three (Vi33.16, Vi33.25, Vi33.26) found in the Vindija cave in Croatia, scientists extracted Neanderthal DNA. Using these samples they painstakingly assembled the Neanderthal genome sequence. More about Neanderthals Neanderthals were a group of humans who lived in Europe and Western Asia. They are the closest evolutionary relatives of modern humans, but they went extinct about 30,000 years ago. The first Neanderthals arrived in Europe as early as 600,000 to 350,000 years ago. Neanderthals — Homo neanderthalensis — and modern humans — Homo sapiens — lived along side each other for thousands of years. Genetic evidence suggest that they interbred and although Neanderthals disappeared about 30,000 years ago, traces of their DNA — between 1 percent and 4 percent — are found in all modern humans outside of Africa. Apart from the curiosity of finding what percentage of a modern human's genome is Neanderthal, the information has great value for science. By comparing our DNA with Neanderthal DNA, scientists can detect the most recent evolutionary changes as we developed into fully modern humans. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #7 March 4, 2014 Amazon*** Well Actuallllly.. Most Europeans have varying amounts of Neanderthal DNA. So...evidence of early Europeans 'slumming'?I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
