We are all neanderthal and Cro-mag mutts

Ok, here's a test of Neanderthal DNA. This came from a Science magazine New Scientist. You'll need your own original front teeth.
Run the tip of your tongue along the inside of your front upper incisors. If they have a vertical ridge congratulations you're Neanderthal. Us humans have smooth incisors.
Great fun at parties or work looking out for the tell tale tongue behind the teeth!
My late wife was a Neanderthal, as is our daughter!

I used to think I was part Neanderthal. Then it turned out to be bad posture. (rimshot)

I just listened to a podcast about the Neanderthals that talked about alot of that. Apparently the different groups were in the same areas ten thousand years or so apart many times over. It had alot to say about the changing views on why we think they ended. Also interesting stuff on why we came to think they were all lumbering and dumb (eugenics and white supremacy). Apparently they were much more similar to us than we have been led to believe.

Yup showed remarkable results . Ancient man did a lot of intermixing

I already knew about this overlap and a certain amount of interbreeding between Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals, they existed alongside each other for a considerable period. The demise of Neanderthals is thought to be mainly because they were less well able to adapt and compete for resources with the more advanced Homo Sapiens.
