The following represents further research confirming earlier studies defining the relationship between homo sapiens, and other homo subspecies. The most important conclusion in this genetic research is that it confirms the modern evolution of homo sapiens, and mixing with other homo relatives as we migrated out of Africa. The Neanderthal and Denisovans DNA is missing from Africans.

Anthropology 201 Guidelines
Anthropology is the study of groups of people, their beliefs, practices, values, ideas, technologies, languages, economies and more.
All are welcome to post in this section, even Geico Cavemen.
A couple of caveats-- (1) racism has no place in this forum, and (2) please show a little discretion. In other words, if an attachment violates policy on the rest of TWEB, it violates policy in this forum as well, even if it depicts a highly interesting and unique aspect of some obscure culture. Keep it reasonably clean, folks.

It is apparent when comparing the other primates living today it only takes a relatively small amount of DNA change to make a radical difference in the evolution of species.Last edited by shunyadragon; 09-05-2016, 06:26 PM.

A while ago, I ran the results of a DNA test I had done through some analytic tools, and found a few spots of my own genetic material that reflect some partial Neanderthal ancestry. (I was missing some of the other common ones, though.) All of us have 'em here or there.
From the original journal article, it looks like the actual news here is that, based on evaluating multiple sources of archaic DNA in Melanesian populations, the scientists have become more confident that most of our ancestral populations had multiple interbreeding events with Neanderthals, not just one.

* Noah and his wife cannot very well have been Neanderthal or Denisovan race,
* at same time, one daughter in law must have had some such background
* but since other studies show that Neanderthal mitocondrial and Y-chromosome are "not modern human" ...
I suppose Neanderthals were a pre-Flood race, and a Neanderthal woman had a son with a non-Neanderthal man (no Neanderthal Y chromosome), then the son had a daughter with a non-Neanderthal woman (no Neanderthal mitocondrial DNA) who married one of Noah's sons.
I suppose remains of Neanderthals in stone age like surroundings, if from pre-Flood, were either a kind of camp prisoners or a kind of Amish, having to do largely in ways which proved useful later just after Flood, during "Late Palaeolithic" to "Neolithic".http://notontimsblogroundhere.blogspot.fr/p/apologetics-section.html
Thanks, Sparko, for telling how I add the link here!
