iirc this has been known for a while. We had sex with them so much that they stopped existing as a separate species.

About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Garrison would be proud. We truly fucked them to death.
The ones we didn't kill. The more violent killing species is the one that survived. Yay us.
We have evidence of interbreeding, but how much evidence do we have of violence between humansnand neanderthals?
Iirc there are no Neanderthal Y-chromosomes left, but there are X-chromosomes, suggesting we killed the males & took the females
This... doesn't really match my understanding.
IIRC there wasn't any real trend. Men and women of either species interbred.
Im roughly 2 percent
Post your browline
I can't get th3 camera far enough away to capture it all
Iโve got a bit of Neanderthal DNA, and a lot of folks of Eastern European descent do as well. My ancestors were swingers, I guess.
I definitely know someone who is descended from a neanderthal.
Marjorie Taylor Greene?
Most likely your mother
Oh, gottem!
No it is, in fact, very likely that his mother has some neanderthal dna. Most of us do
Shut up, nerd. Let us settle this the way our ancestors intended.
E: Nvm, humor is dead.
How were we able to procreate with a different species? Are there other instances of this in nature?
I thought mating two species created sterile offspring (mules).
That just depends on how the chromosomes match A mule is sterile only because it has 63 chromosomes. A horse has 64 and donkey has 62. .

Its amazing what you learn for a school paper decades that sticks with you.
Simply put, it's not that simple.
I know a few
We call them MAGA now.
In an archaeology sub. Really. This is exactly why the US is so divided and why violence is your most likely outcome. Grow a personality and stop dragging politics into everything.
