Humm... Why would I be trusting someone called "Labuda". And I seem to remember a certain "Damian" playing a quite important role in a film about the son of Satan. I smell a rat chewing on a hidden agenda with a fishy odour

Has anybody thought that maybe BIGFOOT is an offspring of Neanderthal
or a hybrid that never fully evolved, and is out there roaming around in British Columbia?
What about Yetis in Asia? Just a thought...

Think of 2 types of pedigree dogs, both becoming ill through inbreeding, untill they find each other...and breed. The resulting puppies would be mongrels, but a hell of a lot fitter, and more intelligent....similar to a small amount of hybrids.
The neanderthals were supposed to have had an extra pair of chromosomes compared with 'moderns' and was supposed to have been proof that they were a seperate species. But 'moderns' are also able to display an extra pair of chromosomes, one condition of the extra chromosomes being Down's syndrome.
So, I'm not even fully convinced that Neanderthals were a seperate species in the first place, hence my 'mongrel' theory, as opposed to the 'hybrid' theory.
If they were a different species, I'm glad that they didn't become extinct, that all the knowledge they possessed wasn't wasted

Right... for the people not following this theory.. for the possible religous nuts that dont get it, the closet rascists that think this an attack on there heritage....

its real straight forward, there is one common anncestor, then at least two if not more sub species that come from said anncestor... these species due to the similar genus are able to interbreed, due to where they come from (such as northern neanderthals) they have adapted to there enviroment, they then pass these abilities to survive down to there children in much the same way my son has blue eyes like me and his mother...


i dont see why people are trying to overly quetion this as its the closest thing to a reasonable explanation in a long time, i mean like someone already mentioned this would explain the lack of a missing link.. there wasnt one, there was interbreeding between slight (or sometimes quite extreme) variations of the homoid (sp) genus that allowed for the best qualities of all above species to become modern man...

this would also explain why there is quite so much variation between the four major skin coulours of the world red/white/black/yellow (i know that statement isnt very politically corrent but for talking sake it makes life easy) if there was possibly a few species of homoids breeding between each other it explains where all the diversity could have came from over a shorter period of time to create the standardised human genome??



just my thoughhts

My first question is that if this happened as humans were leaving Africa, then how do we know these folks didn't go back into Africa? I'm especially reminded of that tribe in sub-Saharan Africa that has blonde hair.

We know because African populations don't show the genetic markers. BTW the title is slightly wrong. Some pacific islanders also don't have these markers, as these islands were colonized by Africans.

Not sure if this is a compliment...

There has been studies that show those of African and Chinese descent are related.

So are the Chinese excluded as well?

And what of Native Americans...?

Bingo....so what of the Native Americans?...The inca, the maya, the cherokee, or the Red Man in general....or the Australian Aboriginals for that matter?


Was America excluded with the "They are European" assumption?

This study seems very narrow, and Eurasia specific.
