Oh well, we are what we are, it's not like we get to pick and choose our genetic traits.

Are these the same scientist that said the MOUNT ST. HELENS volcano rocks were 3.3 million years old, when they were actually 30 years old.
Scientist are famous for Assuming, Guessing, or just pulling numbers out of their azz.
I rank scientist very close to politicians. They will say anything, at anytime, to anybody, if they can pickup a few bucks or some grant money.
I don't believe shite anymore.

so whatever you are referring to debunks evolution?

If you don't know when something started, its "impossible" to determine the age, period. You can assume the Earth is 4.5 billions old, you can guess the Earth is 4.5 billions years old, or you can pull the number, 4.5 billion, out of your azz, and use it. You sound like a "Big Banger", that's a long phucking time ago.

This isn't true. This is creationist propaganda.

The Neanderthals didn't really "die out,"
I'd say you're in the minority with that viewpoint. The scientific consensus is that the Neanderthals died out around 40,000 years ago. Not in one giant moment, of course. But their line seems to end, at least according to fossil records, around that time.

It's all semantics, but it comes down to how you look at it. Neanderthals didn't die out, but rather their genes assimilated with Archaic Homo Sapiens. One could even go as far as saying the descendants of this inbreeding formed a new version that wasn't Neanderthal or Archaic Homo Sapiens, a hybrid of the two.

All those homos belong in the punchable faces thread.

Fake

Anthropologists assumed for a long time that humans genocided Neanderthals. Now it seems that we simply merged with them until pure Neanderthals died out.

Remember, the population of Neanderthals at any one time was only about 10,000 (in the world), so it's easy to see how they simply got absorbed into the gene pool of more numerous humans.

And the fact that both Asians and Europeans have about the same amount of Neanderthal ancestry implies this mixing took place before Asians and Euros split from one another. They are saying Neanderthals mixed with humans 47,000 years ago which fits the timeline nicely since Asians and Euros split about 30,000 years ago.

But there's more we will discover. They know that people from Oceania (Papuans and others) have another hominid in their DNA that most other living people do not. (Denisovans). They have about 5% Denisovan DNA.

And they believe sub-Saharan Africans bred with a hominid we have yet to identify. (A couple of papers were published on this).

Did you know that different ethnic groups have different sized brains, on average? Not shocked
