I think it is a romantic notion, thought I have said this many times before.

The whole aspie quiz is weighted towards Neanderthal theory.

That guy needs to take a step back if he is going to be anyway objective about this.

I firmly believe we have different genes. I don't have to read a theory to know I am different. I fit the description quite well.

We have to define intelligence. That's a broad task and I don't see any benefit for the society. We need each other right?
Scholarships fights for theories, Who's right, Who's wrong. Scientist, religious leaders, historians, anthropologists, biologists.

But we are animals right?
Aren't we ruled by the same biologic laws?

We are breeding, mutating, evolving, mixing... It seems that the whole world have this so claimed AS trait. We are missing the big picture here.

You put in methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), hydrogen (H2), and water (H2O) and some heat to evaporate the mix, then you strike it with electricity and condense the mix back to a liquid solution and you'll have amminoacids. Those amminoacids will form nucleic acids (DNA/ARN) in the form of optical isommers (+ and - charges). That law called quirality explains why we have two hands, two eyes, two legs and so on.

So we all share the same racemic mixture. Dogs, birds, wolves, dolphins, humans and their mutated offspring.

I don't have to believe in someone who traced every lifeform. It's so simple. It's mother earth.

Excuse my poor english.
Take care.

From what I have read there is no genetic connection between modern humans and Neanderthals.


the mt DNA sequence differences among modern humans range from 1 to 24 substitutions, with an average of eight substitutions, whereas, the mt DNA sequence differences between modern man and the Neanderthal specimen range from 22 to 36 substitutions, placing Neanderthals, at worst, on the fringes of the modern range.

...Using sequence data from the Environmental Genome Project, we find strong evidence for ancient admixture in both a European and a West African population (p ~ 10^{-7}), with contributions to the modern gene pool of at least 5%. While Neanderthals form an obvious archaic source population candidate in Europe, there is not yet a clear source population candidate in West Africa.
