Very interesting theory, but the theory that modern man had mixed Neanderthal-human ancestry has since been disproven. In other words, we don't have any Neanderthal blood. At all. They are a cousin offshoot race that never made it.

Sure. Clickety click.

I actually started a thread about this when it first came out.

Still, it puts serious doubt on the Neanderthal theory.

People are getting to pseudo-scientific about something with too little supporting evidence. That guy has a round head - must come from neanderthals. Blue eyes, red hair - must come from Neaderthals (even when there's nothing to say Neanderthals had these attributes!). Stocky body shape - neanderthal.

How can people say these things when all they have to look at are fossilised bones?
