Well, they did make it. Roughly 3% of the human genome is neanderthal stock. Some small populations of H sap sap have up to 5%. So don't get too arrogant about your cousins. You are a hybrid. Me too.
And the fossil record is catching up with that. Very recently a 1st generation cross was found. Half and half.
Interesting post. I still think we screwed them into submission :)
Lol. The sound of "hybrid" makes me think I'm a Neanderthal.. But some people have more of the traits than others. That could also prove the point that the sapiens actually did cross-breed with Neanderthals.
Thanks for the comment
