What Neanderthals actually looked like

Did anyone else think BIGFOOT when they looked at the pictures?

Asking for a friend...

That's all pretty silly stuff, not based on anything but opinion and total misinformation.

Fact is, Neanderthal and Modern human were very closely related and there were hybrid babies who's DNA still persists in the modern world today.

Are those directly related to :african: ?

Everyone is related to the africans, ultimately - but no, the hybrids were Europeans - some white people carry the Neanderthal DNA.

Striking similarities

Virtually everything in that article was not only wrong but a lie.

Why do you hate your ancestors? All humans are all related to this one chick in africa, you know!

Ahem... first thing my friend thought of.

They said a tall neanderthal might have been 6 feet, which is considerably shorter than Big Mike Obama.

For starters, horses and donkeys are vastly closer one to the other than humans ever were to Neanderthals, and all mules are sterile.

There is a claim that, because some humans have a certain small number of genes in common with Neanderthals, that humans and Neanderthals must have interbred. That amounts to thinking that a Neanderthal male could/would rape a woman and, rather than cooking and eating her afterwards as usual, somehow or other keep her alive long enough to bear a cross-species child, raise that child to reproductive age, and have him/her breed back into human populations without anybody catching on, i.e. the claim is ridiculous.

In real life:
• Neanderthal females would kill that woman the first time her new owner left her alone for ten minutes.
• The woman wouldn't fare any better than the subjects of the commie attempts to breed humans and apes into super workers in the 1930s.
• Humans would notice the child was different (really different...)
• And humans would kill that child and everybody else like him as part of the same program which killed out the Neanderthal. They would not need DNA tests to determine who to kill for that sort of reason, it would be exceedingly obvious.

The Neanderthal died out in a wave going from East to West as he encountered Cro Magnon humans with the last Neanderthal stand in Europe being in Southern Spain. There is just no way that humans who were conducting such a total genocide war would have tolerated half-breeds in their own midst. That is, even assuming that such cross-breeding was possible.

No. Despite color differences, there is very little genetic variation in modern humans.

I'm sorry, but you are serious misinformed as to what Neanderthal is. They were a pretty advanced stone-age civilization that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years quite stable, until we came around and kicked them out.

Secondly, at no point is it suggested that modern humans evolved from neanderthals - they were a cousin species, one of many cousin species that have existed throughout history, some of whom we've lived along side of.

Thirdly, as previously mentioned, Neanderthal DNA is present in modern europeans. We, the descendant of the stone age modern human europeans, got it on with the neanderthals. Think about that.

Lastly, what's your agenda, buddy? No one posts such a stupid and blatantly false set of information without some kind of adverse agenda. So what's yours?

IF bigfoot actually exists, he would be a distant cousin of the Neanderthal and I would expect him to look sort of like that.

You inherited a small amount of DNA from your Neanderthal ancestors. Out of the 7,462 variants we tested, we found 250 variants in your DNA that trace back to the Neanderthals

Looks like you have a little more Neanderthal in you than I do!

I have more than my brother and sister lol

No hSPanICKs and inbred trump tards, like the racist who created this site most closely tesemble neanderthals and your mom

Jesus was closer to being black than white so they will be so racist they will literally go to hell cuz they cant deal with it that viking Jesus is a lie

That’s all completely wrong, every bit of it, but I don’t want to take the time to correct you now.

You posted the Danny Vendramini conception of Neanderthals which is interesting. He may have been right and close to the truth. I posted the original Vendramini information on GLP years ago and none of these morons gave a shit.

Now he’s passed away. RIP Danny.

mine too.

DV was entirely right about what Neanderthals looked like; his claim of predation BY Neanderthals driving more gracile hominids into a fast Gould/Eldredge style process of evolution into CrOMagnon man is not tenable.

One thing scholars all agree on is that whatever caused Cro Magnon people to appear on this planet when they did was not gradual. Danny Vendramini ("Them and Us") notes:

“The speed of the Upper Palaeolithic revolution in the Levant was also breathtaking. Anthropologists Ofer Bar-Yosef and Bernard Vandermeersch:

“Between 40,000 and 45,000 years ago the material culture of western Eurasia changed more than it had during the previous million years. This efflorescence of technological and artistic creativity signifies the emergence of the first culture that observers today would recognise as distinctly human, marked as it was by unceasing invention and variety. During that brief period of 5,000 or so years, the stone tool kit, unchanged in its essential form for ages, suddenly began to differentiate wildly from century to century and from region to region. Why it happened and why it happened when it did constitute two of the greatest outstanding problems in paleoanthropology.”

Likewise Dwardu Cardona ("Flare Star"):

"Where and how the Cro-Magnons first arose remains unknown. Their appearance, however, coincided with the most bitter phase of the ice age. There is, however, no doubt that they were more advanced, more sophisticated, than the Neanderthals with whom they shared the land. Living in larger and more organized groups than had earlier humans, Cro Magnon peoples spread out until they populated most of the world. Their tools, made of bone, stone, and even wood, were carved into harpoons, awls, and fish hooks. They were presumably able hunters although, as with the Neanderthals, they would also have foraged to gather edible plants, roots, and wild vegetables. The only problem here is that, as far as can be told, the Cro Magnons seem to have arrived on the scene without leaving a single trace of their evolutionary ancestors. Ian Tattersall observed:

'When the first Cro Magnons arrived in Europe some 40,000 years ago, they evidently brought with them more or less the entire panoply of behaviors that distinguishes modern humans from every other species that has ever existed.'"

There is also a question of artwork, i.e. going from hominids with no artistic capabilities whatsoever to the Cro Magnon Sistine Chapel at Lascaux, with no evidence to be found in the world of any sort of a run-up to that. That obviously is not compatible with the idea of humans evolving from apes and/or hominids.

What that IS compatible with is the idea that Cro Magnon man, fully formed, CAME here from somewhere else in our system, which is the basic thesis of Cosmos in Collision ( www.cosmosincollision.com ).

Cro Magnon people were culturally sophisticated but not technologically sophisticated or space faring. The claim is that they were dumped here via one of the kinds of cosmic disasters that you read about in ancient literature.

What the heck does this mean?

No Neanderthal needles (Cro Magnon needles are common); a creature with a 6" ice-age fur coat simply doesn't require needles...

It means the Neanderthal had no use for clothing. Other than for his fur, he went about butt naked....

yup, absolute bullshit. Probably has a religion bias. Waves of migrating African sapiens got White Skin and straight hair from Neanderthals. And some helpful immunities.

Yeah ok, I don’t believe Cro Magnon people were cosmically dumped on planet earth.

In my opinion it’s no coincidence that the lightbulb lit up in human brains 50,000 years ago, at the same time that there was a great breeding event with Neanderthals, as dna analysis shows. After that great enlightenment humans suddenly started making very advanced tools, amazing artwork, and probably advanced language. Except in Africa, where there were no Neanderthals. Africans would still be bashing and eating each other without even discovering the wheel if we had stayed away from that dark continent.

I think Neanderthals had great imaginations in those big brains of theirs and they were far smarter than you give them credit for. For instance, we now know that they used symbols, buried their dead respectfully, had the physical capacity for language, created rope from fibers, and manufactured tons of strong glue for their tools and weapons eons before modern man.

If Neanderthals were still alive they would clearly be more intelligent than the African species. They may have been furry, I don’t know, they may have looked primitive, I don’t know, but they would have been at least as intelligent as Kanye West or Stacey Abrams.

I hope one day we resurrect a Neanderthal to SEE. You know we have their entire genome figured out and on file. It could easily be done.

The Neanderthal brain was a bit larger than ours but it was dominated by the area of the brain involved with vision; that plus the huge dark-world eyes tell us that the Neanderthal brain was largely the neurological equivalent of the circuitry for a military night vision device.

Our own brains are dominated by the area involved in complex logic.

They looked like that, and...we mated with them.

I worked with a Neanderthal at the post office. He was a mail handler and an obvious throwback. He was an alright guy, but he was obviously neanderthal. I'm not joking.
