Fascinating - I love reading about anthropology and genetics.

Ha! My hubby isn't a Neanderthal. This theme seems to occur in Jean Auel's series of books about life during the Ice Age, though!
Thanks for this!

It wasn't just neanderthals and denisovians; there's another unnamed species that's most prevalent in African populations. Plus, there used to be alot of different humans; there's no telling how many we bred with.

They were nothing like the ones in the Tolkein Novels.

I believe they called them "Ape Men" because they were known for being "Kinky." Want PROOF and proof of reference? Here ya go....straight from Neanderthal's mouth!

They are also called "Natives." I hear the men were VICIOUS, but the women were very comfortable....and lucious. I wouldn't know though because I'm not native, have never been there, and I'm told I'm too ugly and trashy to be considered a "native."

Want a TASTE of their COMFORTING skills? I hear what they got over there will "cure what ails ya!"

Here ya go....

If they are too old for you, I hear you can freely enjoy your "comfort food" with those who are "younger than Springtime." Free for the taking.....like kittens! See?



Would any one of you men be tempted to DO lunch or dinner with an early Spring? If you're a Native - how do you think your native women would feel about that? Can you resist an Apple? What about a Peach? How FRESH do they need to be?

If I'm not mistaken, I believe they were also known as Cave Men....with the scientific name "Trogolodyte."

Wonder if it's true....I've heard it's true. At least that's what the EXPERTS with knowledge have to say.
