btw, just a quick joke.. I go to a Baptist University.. The other day I said I was interested in the dialogue about evolution.. One guy then says, "If evolution had happened it would still be happening"... I think you can see what he was going for there.. Another girl (a very hot one) later tells me " O I have some fantastic magazine articles for me to give you... They basically tell about how no scientists really believe in evolution anymore because something about it makes it impossible.." ha

@SHIBBYiPANDA I think it's more likely that your friends and their magazines have an agenda and we all know what that is.

[SHIBBYiPANDA]

how can we know these weren't just a race of humans that died out???

[PrimitiveByNature]

@SHIBBYiPANDA because DNA says they weren't.

[SHIBBYiPANDA]

@PrimitiveByNature how did we get neanderthal dna?? I looked briefly for a short article about how we came about securing that but I couldn't get something specific.. Do you know?? A creationist would just as soon say that scientists are mistaken and that what we have presented as "neanderthal dna" is just manmade rubbish.. How can we know the methods and mechanisms used to acquire this prehistoric dna are legitimate??

@SHIBBYiPANDA Well I could go into great detail about how DNA is passed down but I assume you already know how if you're in university. lol Seriously though DNA testing has come a long ways and to say there is some kind of conspiracy going on that involves thousands of scientists is pretty rediculous. I can't explain the entire process here but if you google it you'll see how they got the DNA. I would say most scientist believe in evolution, even the vatican agrees.

@SHIBBYiPANDA I'm curious. Do Baptist Universities have biology courses? I dread to see what kind of lectures they offer....given that evolution is the unifying theme of biology.

Neanderthals and Cro-Magnon shared a common ancestor about 500,000 years ago (based on genetics). The first proto-Neanderthal traits appeared in Europe as early as 600,000–350,000 years ago. Proto-Neanderthal traits are occasionally grouped with another phenetic 'species', Homo heidelbergensis, or a migrant form, Homo rhodesiensis. The experts would disagree with you by at least 150,000 yrs but probable more. Everything I read puts the Neanderthal on its path by 500,000 yrs ago.

Interesting about the ideas on whether neaderthals had language. I would assume that if they had the gene for it, they probably did. And if they couldn't make certain sounds, why would that even be necessary? What about click languages that still exist today? Other languages depend on high or low tone to impart an entirely different meaning to a word.

@duckmanjoel Neanderthals didn't exist 500,000 years ago. They have been around for maybe 200,000 years. They evolved from an earlier species, either homo heidelbergensis or homo erectus, as did cro-magnon. Cro-magnon man and neanderthals have the same common ancestor, we are not directly descended from neanderthal man.

[mrjeovanni45]

genetically speaking are we all the same?

Please answer.

[BIytheisGreat]

It just boggles my mind to know that I AM descended of these people. The history of these people is carried in everyones' blood. It's truly a beautiful thought.

Since this has turned into a god or no god discussion, let me just say that everybody believes in "something". Some people believe in their good looks, some in their intellect, some their money, some in building themselves up by putting other people down. Some even go so far in spending all their energy "not believing in god" when the essence of God is love. I will choose free will. I choose to understand science and to love and help my neighbor. Its really that simple. Why all this hate? Evolve

[SHIBBYiPANDA]

@simpleearthling well.. How evolved of you. I don't even believe in any gods and if you had above a 5th grade reading level you would've picked up that never in there did I say I did and, because I'm making fun of a baptist, I probably don't. Hope you're having fun patting your ego on the pack looking at evolution videos thinking you're so much smarter than anyone religious who are, biologically, just like you. Troll fucking pussy fucktard.
