Neanderthal Mystery

[longfootbuddy]

@Ozzrya91 thats what they say anyway...nice art by the way

[longfootbuddy]

@Ozzrya91 genesis?

[Eddtastic100]

@longfootbuddy your thinking of the bible book of genesis i think?

[longfootbuddy]

@Eddtastic100 i must have been

[longfootbuddy]

why do they say we came from africa and migrated up to run into neanderthals? where did neanderthals come from, yeti?

[Sporora]

@longfootbuddy Homo ergaster...

[SloveintzWend]

@longfootbuddy Neanderthal breed left Africa much earlier LOL.

[Viruspirate]

@longfootbuddy neanderthals arent homonids the evolved homonids from africa came into contact with them

[longfootbuddy]

@Viruspirate sure

[VinnyMonster1]

@Viruspirate Yes they were hominids, the family Hominidae includes ALL the great apes and all species of Homo (Human). Neanderthals were of the species Homo Sapiens, Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis to be exact. And ALL hominids are evolved. Species do not stop evolving, it's a continuous process.

[Bestmanme08]

Svante Paabo was cheated out by liar, fraud Bryan Sykes of being the first man to ever extract human DNA froma thousands of years dead human (Paabo did it in 1985 and Sykes did it in 1989)! Check the phrase "The Lies Presented in this book" at google!

[smoothpeople33]

because the DNA content of this bone is so much higher then any found with it. can the results achieved with it be trusted? If they cant then can the results be used to determine anything?

[Mdebacle]

We now now two things:

(1) Neanderthal mtDNA was non-human.

(2) Neanderthal nuclear DNA matches some human Eurasian DNA.

The theory is Eurasian humans are hybrids of African humans and Neanderthals.

The hole in the theory (thank The Economist May 8) is that such hybrids would have preserved Neanderthal mtDNA.

We must conclude that Neanderthals were the hybrids - of human males and non-human females (Heidelberg or Homo-whatever, which were also hybrids)

[efzt]

@Mdebacle human is anything with the prefix homo correct? I think you are using the term human wrong. Didn't the Germans prove last year that present day non-african humans have 1-4% Neanderthal genes?

[Mdebacle]

@efzt

What the Germans proved (Paabo is Swedish) is that Eurasian humans (or whatever you wish to call us/them) share some nuclear DNA with Neanderthals. They conclude Eurasian are partly descended from Neanderthals even though modern humans do not have Neanderthal mtDNA. This because it is inconceivable to them that it is Neanderthals who were the hybrids.

[PantheraAtrox]

Neanderthals were already in their "classic form" in europe 60 thousand years ago. At the same time the new boys from from the east came over and out competed them for food.

Also about 60 thousand years ago a fossil hominid from Mungo Australia also shared different dna yet clearly had no distinctive Neanderthal features.

No living peoples do.

Upshot?

More likely both Neanderthals AND Asian moderns once shared a common ancestor, a PRE- Neanderthal like homind at best.

Cheers.

[chris3443]

Just express the science, don't make it all mysterious and talk like spawk, jesus murphey!

[DBCOOP2009]

neanderthals are nothing more than Humans born with deformities . We should have 1000's of these skeletons if they reigned so long on earth. We have so few it's stupid to speculate they were around as long as we think they were.

[mynameisjonas45]

I think your right.

[Unking85]

i live in Croatia

[Desehesed]

HAHAHAHA

sorry, ignorance makes me laugh

[damageinc1000]

that is why you pay out of your check to support these wild africans........but as long as your love is colorblind!.....lol......

[energycamel]

neandertals never lived in africa.....

[okiedokies]

How is it that so called African's came out of Africa and were smarter than Ancient Europeans, yet African's have a lower IQ than Europeans.

[truvelocity]

Where did you get that information from?

[sunnyahsan1]

hahahahahaha

[damageinc1000]

they were smarter than the wild africans of today that is for sure.....

[truvelocity]

What wild Africans? They domesticated cattle, farmed and clothed themselves for thousands of years. What are you talking about?

[damageinc1000]

your so brainwashed....... its too bad.....

[truvelocity]

The man who believed in white supremacy here in the US was on the news, yesterday apologizing to the world and warned others that life is not worth living with hate toward others. Heed his advice.

[JamieLessard565]

you need a smack to the head

[VendPrekmurec]

really? What about pyramids, ever heard?Ever seen Nubian pyramids? And about neanderthals i have to say, they were very smart, they lived in my country and arheologist have found strange instrument in location Divje Babe (Wild Women ; the name of a cave), bone flute, old 50 000 years! The oldest instrument in whole world. European Homo sapiens = homo Neanderthal + homo Heidelbergensis) - genus homo, Pleistocene 250 000 BC

[truvelocity]

I'm so glad my love is color blind.

[VinnyMonster1]

@truvelocity Mine is not colour blind. But then again, I love all humans because of their diversity, not despite their diversity.

[tvrtkac]

oh boy, why doesn't our tv do a documentary about something related to our country? no, a foreign tv house has to make a documentary about sth in croatia. shish. and then what's even worse our tv house won't put it on the program!!

[medenaamaca]

wow i wont to be youst like you

[Trinitysx]

so umm they find dinasour bones like crazy which are older then neanderthals

and they find a disfigured persons

bones and they say its neanderthals...

cool cool..

[glaarup]

any1 know what happend to the neanderthals? cuz i dont know plz tell if u know

[utterube]

no1 knows, sum thing they simply died out. Others think they assimilated by humans, which is the more likely possibility as allot of people today still show seemingly neanderthal characteristics and traits.

Short and stocky = Neanderthal trait to an extent.

[Darkphoenix3450]

'It has been shown that Neanderthal DNA is to far apart from human DNA so no they can not breed with eachother.

There a lot of scientest that believe Humans Hunted them to death using are numbers to over welm them.

[Drakesverd]

Yeah, there is no other possible explanation why people might be short and stocky

[Greg879]

not bad, can't complain, well lets keep moving on, oh yea almost forgot we are heading another global depression...........

[charliemule]

these people look like hobos

[Greg879]

HAHAHHAAHA, look in the mirror, u r a neantherhal, u dumb cracka.

[Skr3wy]

well, we seem to have done okay for ourselves....how bout you?

[L1GH7N1NG]

Neanderthal brain size(max): 1750-1900cm3

Homo Sapiens Sapiens brain size(max): 1400-2000 cm3.

My history professor learned us that.

[Gubbinz]

i assume 2000 cm3 refers to tito ortiz

[muah949]

well, u knw i'm not saying i don't belive in god BUT i do belive more in the scientific theory it gives more evidence then anyone has ever gave about god. I mean really thnk about it yea theres the bible but u never knw that book coulv'e been written by anyone!

[gordonhughfindlay]

this is really a useless comment cause it is redundant. but i will say it anyways. There is evidence of God. The fact that we are arguing about God, being able to think it, proves that we come from a higher being.

[EndlessVoids]

I think all that proves is that we're creative, and we hate not understanding how we've seem to have mastery over other creatures on earth.

[muah949]

WOW the only evidence of god is the dam bible wich i'll say it again COUL HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY ANYONE and no sweetie ur redundant haha

[gordonhughfindlay]

lol, asinine

[angelbanksking]

3 things, neanderthals is not the "whitemans" history. there not white or man there neanderthals a different species.#2 the first kind of homo is only 2 million years old not 150.dinosaurs roamed the earth that long ago but u were close.#3 theory basicly means a guess not fact check the dictionary (im not sure if u were joking)

[Greg879]

Neantherhal, the white man's history. While us brown ppl were living like royalty, these monkeys were living in caves.

[ihateforigners]

wow your a dumbass. Neantherhals were wipped our nigger

[papasitoman]

I assume you meant to write;

Wow. You ARE a dumbass. Neanderthals were whipped out, nigger. (There is a difference between your and you're. A child in the second grade know this difference.

Please learn to write a real sentence in English before you bash anyone else.

Good day to you, moron.

[ihateforigners]

1. If you didn't notice, the T and the R on the keyboard are very close. 2. I wouldn't be talking because I think you meant to say " A child in the second grade KNOWS this difference" ( Not Know )

[bigobriener]

I'd love it if we found one frozen, and could bring him back alive. Lock him in a room with a playstation and a guitar or something. see what he/she'd do hahah

[iwillpunchyourface]

I think about the same thing all the time!

[99Maic]

Encino Man!!!

[RedLifeBenfica]

Shit, i just read they had a Big Brain ! Much larger than ours !

Dang !

[Neanderthalcousin]

There was a time when we lived alongside other forms of humans.

[bignewgame]

I would tend to agree because homo sapiens were found to live during time of the first homo species called homo habilis 150 million years ago. If new evidence of homo sapiens were found to be older than them would show we were all here living at the same time. So until then evolution will always be just a theory.

[ThePrimusGuy]

Ok, lets clone that mofo and research its behavior.

[Alicow]

bullshit ,

HUMANS ARE JUST HUMANS , NOT AN EVOLUTION OF NEANDERTHALS , WHO THAT SHITS BELIEVE IS REALY...

[Rahab111222]

No one is saying we evolved from neanderthals, dipshit. Open up a biology book for once in your life.

[Alicow]

i know dick

i just say it as extra information

[Rahab111222]

And your 'extra information' that we are an 'evolution of neanderthals' is absurd.

[bignewgame]

Once the DNA of all species is know will there be evidence to prove or disprove evolution. In the mean time it is only a theory.

[Rahab111222]

Do you even know what scientific theory means? Scientific theory is higher than scientific fact, a theory means it's not only a fact, but it can also be TESTED and OBSERVED over and over again.

Scientific theory is the highest you can possibly get in the scientific heirarchy.

LIGHT is a theory, GRAVITY is a theory... get it?

[ichirootaniguchi]

dumb ass

[bigmoney714]

what are neantherthals?

[FoxtrotNinja]

A kind of human relative that was placed somewhere between a monkey and a modern human. They were VERY close to humans but more of what you would think of as a cave man than what is closest to cave men now: The tribal men of Africa.

[TheOneTooMany]

This narrator sounds like Ardeth Bay from the The Mummy

[PreserveDiversity]

Watch the White Nationalist Response videos to this.

[djcritikalmusik]

Human beings committed genocide against the Neanderthals. Foreshadowing the Holocaust? You Bet!

[gspotsco77]

I cannot imagine why there is a debate. Man's inhumanity to man is uber evident. Species separation makes it even easier to envision conquest, perhaps even consumption.

No better source of protein than the continent's top predator. With fixed locations and dimm wits its a slam dunk.

Yea, we ate them. Once they do the analysis of the DNA and find the bones in the sapiens trash piles we can rest easier, knowing we are the meanest primate on the planet.

Case Closed.

[PantheraAtrox]

"Cain killed Abel"?

[truthspeaker969]

"Cain killed Abel"?

that was much later

[TheBoredBystander]

@gspotsco77 The cut marks they found on the Neanderthal bones were typical of Neanderthal tools and butchering, not sapiens' tools and butchering style

[SarahLee1]

@gspotsco77 If they had survived as a distinct species, we would've been such assholes to them throughout the ages. We who couldn't even treat each other with dignity or respect and ended up enslaving and killing each other for thousands of years.

[ashwinbhat123]

@SarahLee1 Well we could have used some slave labor and not worry abt human rights. jk

[PantheraAtrox]

@gspotsco77 , agree, we're here they are not.

[scottunique]

@PantheraAtrox Even if we interbread, it would have been to predate the group and take the most attractive females. Think about it: there was 600,000 years for sexual selection to occur wthin Neandertales, leading some lines to be quite attrractive. Big brain invader comes along, wipes out the majority of members and has his way with the prize females. Kids that survive with dad's braincase and mom's good looks, well, we can see where it might go from there... Swedish babes ;)

[PantheraAtrox]

@scottunique , lol think the swedes look more like the Cro Magnons rather than the larger brained Neanderthal.

[leoray1234]

@gspotsco77

Looks like you were right!

[PantheraAtrox]

@gspotsco77 Well said, agree.

What most people don't know is that many ancient peoples of Europe/Asia were Cannibalistic, especially during lean times when other food stuffs were scarce.

Neanderthals may had been an easy catch.

[monistee]

Fascinating!

[1418WP]

white pride, watch my videos on this subject 1488

[dashin999]

Can they create a clone of Neanderthal if they found their DNA ?

[XxToKyOmEwxX]

No, I think the organism has to be alive for that. XD

[SniperViper1000]

There gonig to try igt. They have the DNA thewy just need enoguh and a very health girl with very healthy eggs to use.

[dashin999]

Wow...

[NeoSentience1]

more evolution propaganda... what aren't they really saying is what could prove evolution wrong

[UDavidT]

lol christian fag.

[wadfine]

agreed

[JacobAndrewCastro]

Your a fucken retard, science is real, religion is hard to believe.

[eatrocksah]

@JacobAndrewCastro religion is 'easy to believe' cause it works on human emotion and everyone can 'feel', it only takes one or two lines out of a bible to convince them god is real, etc. SCIENCE on the other hand takes understanding of ridiculously huge numbers, quatum physics, biology, etc...its hard to 'believe' in science(but there is no need to believe in science, u either accept it or u are retarded and don't......

[HardbeatAcolyte]

@eatrocksah - Yeah, let's all accept all scientific theory without question, and automatically reject anything otherwise, because apparently we're 'retarded' if we don't [/sarcasm]

[xBBWCx]

@JacobAndrewCastro Dont forget it is God who sets all the science and its laws.

[aguteempasil]

@xBBWCx if god exists we haven't the capacity to fathom such an entity.

[PrimitiveByNature]

@aguteempasil I couldn't agree more. I would also like to say that if a "god" exists he probably couldn't give 2 shits about us or what happens to us.

[kylecorreia]

shutup

[mafiamob2005]

intresting

[ShiNoSaru]

I really don't mean this in a trolly way, but has anyone ever sought to find a connection between downs syndrome and neanderthal DNA? I realize that is quite politically incorrect, but I really don't care.

[fiendin281]

why do you think there is a connection?

[ShiNoSaru]

I read a paper on expected neanderthal behavior and it sounded quite similar is some ways to some of the symptoms of downs syndrome.

[UDavidT]

A = 1.

gather more sources.

[ShiNoSaru]

well it was peer reviewed, and not refuted. so it´s more like A = 1*community

[SmellsLikeTheBarn]

ShiNoSaru, Interesting point. It has never been proven that Neanderthals were anything other than humans. Some researchers believe that what we call Neanderthals were just humans who had some kind of genetic conditions that made them look slightly different than other people.

[fiendin281]

so you think that neantherthals are just retarded people?

[1418WP]

white pride

[Moonways]

thanks

[emagen303]

dope

[EZMedInfo]

cool

[anklebreaka03]

this is possibly the WORST NG clip i have ever seen

[AMackem]

Hmm interesting...

Mind you judging from the intellect demonstrated by some of the posts one would suspect that detecting neanderthal DNA in some homo-sapiens may not be as problematic as scientists previously thought.

[Mike07P]

Hahaha.

[Extremelypunctual]

Damn, that's harsh! XD

[ItsJustJasmine]

what is neaderthatl?

what's it mean.. :)

[gurragreat]

it's an earlier form of homo sapiens (human).

[Bradster9528]

It pretty much means cave man

[ItsJustJasmine]

ooo ok thx!

[destructicon500]

You could have EASILY searched this on Wikipedia

[ItsJustJasmine]

i could've MORE EASILY just left a comment...also wikipedia is a really bad sourse...anyone can write anyhting....

wow ur nasty, i have every right to ask a qusetion u idiot.

[preetajohn]

no actually, not anyone can write anything. it needs to be verified from atleast 4 different sources. The sources are then verified. In case of scientific writings, it needs to be peer reviewed sources. when something isnt verified , it says so, in those little boxes on the top. If there isnt enough information, it also says that, in the boxes. wikipedia is an extremely accurate source. if not, they could get sued, for claiming to be what it is.

[ItsJustJasmine]

dude, i'm not going on wikipedia, it is not a not a good source, and i dont feel like it, a nice person has already said so and i bet it took 5 seconds for them to do so, y do u care anyway?

geeeeeeeez go bother someone else

[preetajohn]

i have absolutely no interest in making you do anything. i really dont care where you get your sources from and what you chose to believe or not believe. im just correcting the statements you made about wikipedia. so maybe you can use it in the future and not make ignorant comments. no one is out to get you kid. if you wanted more information than a two word sentence, you could go to wiki. "geeeeeez" .try to help and you get nasty.

[ItsJustJasmine]

look who's making ignorant comments, geeez...u didn't help and i doubt u were trying,

AGAIN go bug someone else

[preetajohn]

lol. coz thats my agenda.from one continent away. yes. whatever kid.

[ItsJustJasmine]

kid, very funny, i dont thinks so, nice try but it'll take more to offend me, AGAAAINNNNNNNNN!!! go bother someone else.

[destructicon500]

Wikipedia may not be the MOST reliable source if you're looking for specific details and such, but if you just wanted to know a bit about something, there is surely no harm in using it.

Just wondering, are you in high school? Because I remember all my teachers and librarians telling us how "evil" Wikipedia is.

[ItsJustJasmine]

W/E I AM NOT GOING TO USE IT, AND U CANT PERSuADE ME, UR WAISTING UR TIME...MY GOD!!!

[Youngman055]

what a lie, there was no Neanderthal.

[Nietsro]

what?

Youngman?

What??

[alienspanke]

It's safe to assume this guy is voting for McCain!

[maggot616cro]

But Jakov could brush up on his English.

[maggot616cro]

WOOHOO Vindija!

[NInjas0]

Clone backt he people of the past and see if they were any bigger or stronger and stoof!

[niamtxiv]

arent neanderthal related to today european?

[aeonflux67]

You mean British Football supporters - especially Millwall? I think yes, that is correct.

[UserNameForYeeTube]

Umm, wtf?

[kometman]

shut up

[blandastig]

actually some have speculated that people of nordic decent may have been a sort of neanderthal/homo sapien mix. in times when the rest of the world was short and smaller framed Norsemen were 6'+ and large framed by comparison.

[wwwk]

Neanderthal =BIGFOOTS

[Extremelypunctual]

Bigfoots or Bigfeet? I am interested in what the plural is for that.

[scrag10]

pick one, there is no right or wrong in language. Though one will be more popular.

[1300713G3D]

i would assume bigfoots, cuz when i hear bigfeet, i actually think of "big feet" lol

[Vinnylc158]

Yea. Me too. But I think big foot might be like moose(not sure)

[xNeogirl94x]

No.. Tbh i think no one can get a decent un-blurred picture of Bigfoot because he actually IS a walking blur

[mistermuffin420]

rate this comment whether you would sleep with a really hot neanderthal chick.

[FrostedxCookie]

hey thats funny, this is what im learning in world history xD

Neanderthals aren't extinct... just look at George w. Bush

[FluggleBubble]

hahaha nice one.

[pres411]

I think George needs to go to the hospital. you've just inflicted THIRD DEGREE BURNS!

I love natgeo.

[freedomwarrior43]

Interesting boner

[TehCthulhu]

all i can say is i absolutely hate the camera work and all the metallic sound effects they spam during the video, its a documentary why do you need a shaky camera, going in and out of focus and all that hoo-ba-joob

that being said: i cant wait to watch this

[nelllville]

We Still Got Lil Wayne!

ARRRG I HATE HOW THEY ENDED IT ON A CLIFF HANGER!!!! now i have to watch that show, and i don't have a tv to do it with! (nor am i going to pay the money to buy it after it comes out on dvd)

[YouJussGotCurbed]

its a promo thats exactly what there channels for to promote there tv channel so why would they show you what happened

ill want to see the result from the what will they discover from the bone...
