Human-Neanderthal mixing

Fossils of modern humans discovered in 1952 and roughly 30,000 years old have been re-examined, and closer analysis shows mixtures of modern human and neanderthal features. This adds evidence to the theory that as modern humans spread out across Europe about 35,000 years ago, some bred with neanderthals.

I've always thought this theory made a lot of sense.

  • Going by some people I've met, that "breeding" is still going on today....

  • Hey, I never said that neanderthals were stupid, just that it appears that breeding is ongoing, lol....(however, if that's the case, maybe they'd have to be stupid to be breeding with us?) And I'm not a sir! :P
