Neanderthals "Had Sex" With Modern Man
According to Professor Svante Paabo, director of genetics at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Neanderthals and modern humans had sex across the species barrier. The professor has been using DNA retrieved from fossils to piece together the entire Neanderthal genome, and plans on publishing his findings soon. He recently told a conference that he was sure the two species had had sex, but still had questions as to how "productive" the relations had been. "What I'm really interested in is, did we have children back then and did those children contribute to our variation today?" he said. "I'm sure that they had sex, but did it give offspring that contributed to us? We will be able to answer quite rigorously with the new [Neanderthal genome] sequence." What remains a mystery is what Paleolithic brewery provided the catalyst for these stone age hook-ups.
Humans... so easy, a caveman can do them.
Developers, developers, developers...
If I have seen further it is by stealing the Intellectual Property of giants.
...and later went on to form the first government - which has been screwing modern man ever since.
At last we can explain wherefore Celtic people are who they are!

Ever been to a frat party?
Helping ugly people have sex since 30,000 BCE!!!
Yeah, that's pretty much how my wife describes it...
Personal opinion? Even nowadays most modern men will hump anything with a viable opening. I am probably one of the more refined of us as I usually demand they are the same species as me, but I have plenty of friends that that is an optional extra for.
Cave drawings will do.
Have gnu, will travel.
I'm not condoning this, just pointing out the obvious.
Thanks for stressing you're anti-rape. With slashdotters, you can't be sure. So many of us spend so much time on the longboats, our long beards matted from all the clotted blood of our enemies. It's easy to forget that when you come home and hang up the horned helmet for a nice relaxing night of using the Core 2 Quad you got as danegeld, that 'no means no'.
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
Its the beards.
How many people looked at the neanderthal photo attached to this article and thought to themselves, "Yeah, I'd hit that!"?
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Man, so the message is clear: we will have to fuck those nasty aliens when they show up to get that "hybrid vigor" on a galactic scale.
So that was Jim Kirk's motivation!

Cool story, bro.
Uh, no... that was the alien women's motivation in fucking him. Why else would any of them engage in such an unpleasant task?

Its been used to trace most human ancestors to a couple places in Africa, almost to a couple of individual females.
Two questions:
1. If it was two females, how did they reproduce?
2. Do you have any pictures? (Maybe an artist's interpretation? :)

Darn right. When I'm naked, I kind of look a little too much like a 6'5" orangutan/caveman hybrid for it to be coincidence.
So they could be on TV

I'm sure every scientist, and probably everyone else as well, has committed similar sins at some point.
What evidence do you have to support that statement?
The CB App. What's your 20?
there's nothing holding me back, I just have to leave my apartment :)
Your mother is so old that the Neanderthals had sex with her!
Cave paintings or it didn't happen.
Karen: "Screw you, Gary!"
Gary: "Oh, yeah? Maybe if you did that more often, maybe I wouldn't need these paintings!"

You've seen Gérard Depardieu haven't you?
Have you been in a Wal-mart? People will hump anything with a hole.
Remind me not to go shopping with you.
In my experience, "no" means "eat me out first".
Just sayin'
Learn about Photography Basics.
I don't know, but I have to say that the icon for this story probably represents the look our ancestors had whilst receiving some neanderthal loving.
I'm in to sadism, bestiality and necrophilia. Am I flogging a dead horse?
Someone, I don't know who, once said that "if you took a Neanderthal, cleaned him up, dressed him in modern clothes and put him on a New York subway car, no one would look twice."
Someone else responded to that with "that says more about the New York subway system than it does about Neanderthals."
This ain't rocket surgery.
Well I guess it's better than Ubuntu 9.10 Horny Homoerectus
I hate printers.
INSIGHTFUL MY ACHING ASS! speaking as a Scotsman i find this funny as hell. you see celts were not just Scotland ,Wales and Ireland........... they were pretty much ALL OVER EUROPE. Celts were a culture and not a race... there were Celts all over the place INCLUDING ENGLAND!!!! oh and Germany.. and Switzerland and France or and spain.....remember the OstroGoths?Visigoths?..erm.. celts..... the celts even sacked Rome...... this is where Milan gets it's name from....
yeah.. right next door to England isn't it? and as far as a plague.. well oe third of the roman empire was humped by the plague... however you will find that the SCots and Irisg celts by the VERY nature of them being OUTWITH the roman empire..remember the Scots kicked the crap out the Romans on more than one occassion. and the Irish were prtty much unscathed due to no real expiditionary force from the Romans altough thre was some trade(ie slaves) between the Romans and Irish .Decimation whilst having a roman root isn't even the right wird..lol decimation means 1 out of ten killed. it was , for exa,mple when a legion fucked up they got 1 out of every ten men and killed then as a lesson to the rest not to fuck up again. Or if a p[eople rebelled the same would happen to that population locally as a lesson to the rest. 1/3 != 1 out of ten.
there were walls built to seperate the Scots tribes from Roman britain.. thus the plague very much kinda skipped the Scots and Irish on that occassion.
i could go on and show you how amazingly wrong you are in yer wee statement but tbh i cannot bothered.
i mean did you really believe what you said or just enjoy making shit up?
That was the most insightful, drunken, Scottish post ever.
