Hi Anne:) I think Neanderthals were capable of sophisticated tool use. I think the reason for their extinction was a result of biological incompatibility with...
gahada: Why do you think Neandertals were "biologically incompatible" with "modern" humans? There are a number of organisms classified as separate "species"...
... "modern" humans? There is no evidence of Neanderthal DNA in the H.sapiens gene pool. If there was interbreeding, it should show up somewhere. My own...
gahada: Have you actually read any serious work on Neandertals and their behaviors? I have. If you had, I think you might find this a better guide to their...

... Analysis of the assembled sequence unequivocally establishes that the Neandertal mtDNA falls outside the variation of extant human mtDNAs, and allows an...
IMO, Neandertals and any other population should fall outside the variation of modern populations since ancient Neandertals lack any of the new mutations that...
I simply do not trust mitochondrial DNA heteromorphology as a barometer of genetic distance between species of humans tens of thousands of years apart. We know...
Jack: The people who recently gave us the "complete" mtDNA Neandertal genome claim they're working on a Neandertal nuclear genome. FWIW. Anne G I simply do not...
