No Interbreeding With Neanderthals !

    Ok, here is what happened when a study was done on a leg bone from a 38,000 year old Neanderthal. It kinda proved that Neanderthals didn’t breed with humans? Hell, I could have told you that, have you had a good look at one, recently?. I wouldn’t even go on a date with one, let alone think about sex! But that is not to say I haven’t met a few in my time.
    These short, ugly, robust guys were roaming around Europe some 300,000 years ago, but as soon as us humans (or homosapiens, as scientists like to call us) migrated to the area some 250,000 years later, they disappeared (go figure, we do have standards!). Original conclusion was that “us” and “them” bred, thus creating a hybrid population (which would explain the old “throwback” theory). But now scientists are saying nup, they didn’t interbreed at all, but most probably died from disease.
    Which makes it so much harder to explain some of my relatives.
