Neanderthal ancestry

What makes you think that neanderthals were "sub-human?"

Missed Post 10, did you?

No, I failed to understand that when you described Neanderthals as being cursed by God with a disease it meant that they were sub-human.

Curiously, Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA in homo sapiens may have helped them survive different environments.

Just out of curiosity, are you guys bragging or complaining that you're partly sub-human?

Neither; it is how it is. But nothing to complain about - Neanderthals were an intelligent, tool-using human, that had burial rituals and symbolism - unlike the crude early stereotype, evidence suggests they were pretty similar intellectually to homo sapiens - as you'd expect from our closest human relatives.

I suppose you could call them 'sub-human' because as Homo neanderthalensis they were a sub-species of the human genus (Homo), but by that reckoning we're 'sub-human' too, because we're also a sub-species of the human genus - Homo sapiens.

That is an old misunderstanding that was discarded long ago.

Neanderthals Are Still Human!

Neanderthals were human. They buried their dead, used tools, had a complex social structure, employed language, and played musical instruments. Neanderthal anatomy differences are extremely minor and can be for the most part explained as a result of a genetically isolated people that lived a rigorous life in a harsh, cold climate.

PLEASE STOP RESPONDING TO THAT PERSON. I DO NOT WANT THIS THREAD RUINED WITH NONSENSE.

Which person? There is more than one that is spewing nonsense here.

I see two on this page alone.

He means me.

My apologies, I totally misread Radrook's post.

The one that's been ruining threads with nonsense for a decade.

I understood too late. I agree and once again my apologies, and especially to Radrook

In fairness, though, I think CF is a better place with the addition of he rocket powered flying clams and teleporting koalas.

Great. Not in my threads though.

Fair enough.

Just noticed this breakdown by chromosome and region.

You can't look more Neanderthal than Nikolai Valuev
Is Nikolai Valuev Neanderthal?

Is Nikolai Valuev Neanderthal?
This guy might be the most intresting looking person I've ever seen. He has more neanderthal traits than he does sapiens. He fills all the criteria for how a neanderthal supposedly looked like. Notice the very protruding brow, very long lower part of his face, and his very strong jaw.

He seriously has more extreme neanderthal traits than this neanderthal reconstruction. But look at the similar brow and the very long lower face which is very typical for neanderthals and very rarely seen in modern humans.

Neaderthal Skull compared to early homo sapiens skull(again notice the much longer lower face and the brow)

Which one does he resemble the most? How much Neanderthal DNA do you think he has? The average European has about 2,5-3%.


BTW
The guy in the photo shown fighting Valuev is John Ruiz who is 6'3" tall. Of course he is coming in bent at the waist but still the size disparity is obvious.

Are there deserts in the Arctic?

The arctic is a desert.

So you see absolutely no resemblance? Gee! I was expecting an instant recognition of the obvious. Or maybe you understood that he is being identified as an actual Neanderthal. Please read again and notice that it is only a strong resemblance that is being noted.
