.....video highlights a recent find that suggests neanderthals were living alongside our early human ancestors.
So sad they died out. It'd be nice were there another intelligent species around to chat with.

You have heard about the very controversial idea that cloning a Neanderthal may be undertaken? It is related to the plans to clone the Mammoth, in another ATS thread somewhere......
The Journey of Man is a documentary that talks about our evolution, our recent history, and how we came to be to the way we are today. It looks at the Y chromosome, that's passed down from male to male, and tracks the marker mutations to map our ancestors' journey. It's how we conquered the Earth in just the last 59,000 years.

Human/Neanderthal Co-existence?
Genetic study confirms that approximately 4% of non-African modern human DNA relates to Neanderthals. Tests comparing the Denisova hominin genome with those of six modern humans: a ǃKung from South Africa, a Nigerian, a Frenchman, a Papua New Guinean, a Bougainville Islander and a Han Chinese showed that between 4% and 6% of the genome of Melanesians (represented by the Papua New Guinean and Bougainville Islander) derives from a Denisovan population. The genes were possibly introduced during the early migration of the ancestors of Melanesians into Southeast Asia. This history of interaction suggests that Denisovans once ranged widely over eastern Asia en.wikipedia.org...
