The Range of Neanderthal Man

Most “experts” try to portray Neanderthals as somehow less than human, when they were in fact the apex predator of their time. Many “experts” also try to find some speculative evidence that they were somehow inferior to us. Any evidence of interbreeding is dismissed by these same “experts”, based on the analysis of contaminated DNA samples by people who have already made up their minds on that subject.

Here is a provocative idea: Have you noticed that the range of Neanderthals overlaps that of modern “Caucasoid” people. Considering that the last 3 million years had ice ages and extensive glaciation in northern Europe, northern and central Asia, the actual mass of inhabitable land was smaller than today (try telling that to AGW promoters). Is it possible that what we understand as “Caucasoid” is actually a mixture of majority H. Sapiens and minority H. Neanderthalensis?

    “Is it possible that what we understand as “Caucasoid” is actually a mixture of majority H. Sapiens and minority H. Neanderthalensis?”

    aw hell, i’d love that……….we could apply for all sorts of scholarships and job-set-asides and empathy from everywhere…..

    :”Whaddya expect, goddammit! Im fuckin’ white and me ancestors carried clubs to beat baby seals, foxes, and wolves to death for food!”
    “Hey, my ancestors pulled women by the hair back to their caves! Its our phuckin’ tradition, put those handcuffs down!!!”

    “If you use that taser on me, my lawyer will sue you because us neo-neanderthals are tased more than any other group as per our proportion of the population!!”"

    We could have geico commercials with James Spader (Ive been told that I resemble the ‘young’ James Spader) wearing a animal skin, scratching his balls, and smoking a cigar, while buying auto insurance through tweeting.

    You are not the first person to notice that historic Neanderthal territory seems to coincide with modern Caucasoid territory.

    There is some evidence of introgression of neanderthal genes (into some modern human populations). For example: MCPH1, which regulates brain size during development. See the following link for more information…

    I have known that for years, and believe that certain features in caucasoid groups (amount of body hair, range of eye color and hair color, changes in body structure from slender to robust) can be better explained through interbreeding with Neanderthals. People in Norther China and North-East Asia endured similar environments, but never developed these features.

    Similarly people in the middle east often have features such as light eyes and a more thick set build that are a liability for that environment (cataracts and cooling).
