Earliest Known Neanderthal Had Human Qualities

All -

'Splain me this:

Why the apparent mandate

For discovering "human" qualities

In the Neanderthal, rather than

Neanderthal qualities in Homo s?

I'm not referring to the interbreeding hype, here,

Rather, the fact that these two groups

Were contextually contiguous for

At least a couple hundred thousand years.

"Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
they fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the op'ning day."

John, the simple answer is: "We view this topic with a preconceived bias, expecting the find the results that we want to find." :D

You raise a valid point by turning the topic upside down.

National Geographic announced a show coming up towards the end of September which claims to look into the likelihood of HNS and HSS interbreeding.

I'll be recording it if any wants to see it and doesn't have Nat Geo.

Let me know.
