NO SURPRISE
I am not at all surprised to learn that humans and Neanderthals could have mated.
I have actually met some of their offspring!
Some knuckle-draggers have been around my life's path. The people who bull ahead in line. The ones who doggedly (no that's another species) push ahead with their own ideas without regard to anyone elses'.
Mouthbreathers.
The term 'neanderthal' is thrown around quite regularly in political discourse. Well, 'discourse' is a nice name for the down and dirty.
What this tells me is that there is nothing inherently 'wrong' about being a neanderthal.
It is not a moral issue.
The folks just can't help it.
Their gene pool forked off and attenuated and, while the original did not survive, his or her humanoid offspring did.
I don't think that they need to go stirring around the genes to find this out.
Just look around!
