It doesn't disappoint me that my words are falling on deaf ears. I just find it irritating when I explain something to you and someone else suddenly agrees with me and calls it their own 'revelation'.
Take for instance 'God and Just some of Her mistakes' posted 22nd March 2009.
Guess what?
Neanderthal DNA exists in us, say experts!
Thousands of years ago humans leaving Africa mated with the hairy sub-species, according to experts (they still got that bit wrong) and now many carry between 1% and 4% of caveman DNA.
Scientists studying bone fragments found in a cave in Croatia analysed the genome (genetic make-up) and compared it with 5 people living around the world today. They reckon humans and neanderthals mated in the Middle East between 50,000 and 80,000 years ago (right location but it was actually 37,500 years ago)
Anthropologist Dr Svante Paabo who took samples from people living in southern Africa, west Africa, Papua New Guinea, China and France (shame he missed Scotland), said "For the first time we can now identify genetic features that set us apart from all other organisms on the planet." (surely you're not missing the point AGAIN).
Professor Chris Stringer of the Natural History Museum admitted the results were surprising (to whom?) he said "I regarded the Neanderthals as most likely a separate species from Homo Sapiens." He admitted he thought any interbreeding would have been lost in later millennia. But he said "The neanderthal genome suggests those genes were not lost."
'Neanderthals are our the closest evolutionary relatives'
Yes just as I thought. You did miss the point! Neanderthals are NOT your closest evolutionary relatives...........we are!
