Lets meet our Hominid family tree.

I guess we will never really know.
I was reading about some dude in the USA who wanted to woman to give birth to a neanderthal baby, not sure how he could do it but I doubt it would be even allowed.

While not 100% it sure could be.

I feel pretty proud I have the gene

.

The red hair mutations in humans and Neanderthals are different; they both result in mutations from the mc1r gene but the Neanderthal variant does not occur in humans. I'm sorry, the ginger gene probably did not come from them. Why homo sapiens and Neanderthals both independently developed that trait is an interesting question though... Higher vitamin D absorbency is the most popular notion. I think simple sexual selection may have something to do with it; red heads stand out. Some combination...? At any rate...

According to 23andMe I am 3.4% Neanderthal, I'm kind of proud of that myself.

They always seem to find animals right back to the begining.
but humans?
why can they not trace humans back?

What is sad is that all our brother and sister humans are gone. Imagine the cultures if they were still around.

I might be wrong about this and don't have time to look it up right now. I'm in an intermission at a play one of my children is performing in so I will look this up afterward to be certain. I believe the mutation is on the MCR1 in HN and the mutation for red hair in "us" is on a similar but different MRC1 in HN. I'm going on memory and have a migraine from a multitude of children running rampant on a sugar high thanks to the bake sale so be kind if I got this wrong!

a reply to: redhorse

Yes, this is what I've read too. That red hair/freckles/light skin evolved independently in HN and HS suggests a lack of gene flow between these species. Not to mention that it's interesting that these same phenotypes were expressed by different mutations.

I love the fact that you love a fact that is NOT a fact but instead a hypothesis....lol

Please explain.

You have to remember that (way of the)Masterjaden believes Noah's flood was a fact, so....

The first thing I thought of after reading this was Mos Eisley.

Ah k.
Jaden don't bother.

It's almost as awesome as loving a fact that isn't a fact and has no scientific evidence, support or basis aside from 1 book you're drooling semen over and ignoring the fact that it wasn't included in any Abrahamic reinterpretation of the past until the Hebrews were released from bondage in Babylon where they picked up and added many aspects of their host lands mythos to their own nascent faith. Isn't it cute? Maybe someday you'll discover the real meaning of hypothesis and the real defining line between hypothesis and theory and then apply them to anachronisms like faith based mythos.

Gonna make a new thread on thursday with a few more of our Hominid cousins...I'm back at work now but got thursday off .
Cheers all again you all teach me great things .

a reply to: boymonkey74

I look forward to it. If you're looking for any suggestions, hit me up. I'm sure I can think of a few that may be off the beaten path if I know what time period and geographical area you're looking at.

a reply to: peter vlar

Ooo pick one for me to research like homework .

a reply to: boymonkey74

check your inbox. I tossed you a couple of starting points. I think you at least will find them interesting.

a reply to: peter vlar

Have I EVER even hinted that I believe the bible??? I only hate bad science and poor reasoning/false logic.

Jaden

a reply to: Masterjaden

If I got you mixed up with other bible thumpers then I genuinely owe you an apology for doing so. It doesn't change the fact that the science which you conclude to be lacking factual support and reason while conveying false logic is anything but that.
