Modern humans may have interbred with Neanderthals and Denisovans

Modern humans have about 1 to 3% Neanderthal DNA and some Denisovan DNA. Australian Aborigines have the highest proportion of Denisovan DNA, at about 4 to 6%. Modern Africans lack Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA. Some modern human immune system genes - HLA-A genes - contain very high proportions of DNA from these archaic cousins. So, it appears that modern humans may have mated with Neanderthals and Denisovans as the former spread out of Africa and across Eurasia, in the process gaining important disease-resistance genes.

[However, a recent paper has raised doubts about the hybridisation hypothesis, claiming instead that the shared DNA could be explained by shared ancestry, rather than interbreeding.]

Well.. Negroids have the same exact Craniums & Faces as low land Gorillas, they are even Black skinned like Gorillas are so clearly, Women were even more turned on by those Shorter, but more Muscular Men. Perhaps it was the broad shoulders as that chick in the video kept saying.. women like nice long hair, not Kinky, Archaic, None Human Negroid hair. A chimps hair is not really straight, it's coarse, like a Blacks woman's She Boon attempt at appearing Human, when they straighten it artificially.

A lot of African Americans seem like very racist people. Do they not realise they offend everyone with their words.

[hammer99691]

Yeah, some Neanderthal raped some hot modern chick with his 10 inch dick

[punhaze]

Incoherent ranting by someone who clearly shows that inbreeding is a bad choice. Now be a good little monkey and go practice that banjo so we more evolved homo sapiens can make the decisions.

[DisposableEgo]

DNA doesn't lie. Europeans are the mutt-species.

Final answer.

[GeneAlchemist63]

Wishful thinking, from a Negroid, None Evolved Race of Missing link, Planet of the Apes, Shit Monkeys, that is rejected completely, by the females of ALL EVOLVED HUMANITY.. Unless they are on crack, as studies have suggested...

[GeneAlchemist63]

LOL.. that is exactly the percentage of White females on Crack or Heroine.

That makes you happy huh?

[GeneAlchemist63]

LOL.. Negroid Nigga Sheboons and Trailer trash, White Anglo bitches with their Mulatto Monkey halfbreeds, that's all you get on the Jerry Springer show, not even Mexicans go that low.. LOL

and all Orchestrated by a JEW... how precious! :D

[antizion01]

I think your Gorilla headed Black mama and Chimp, "Planet of the Apes" Simian Papa.. ARE the retard Gene... we Evolved Humans must do away with the Simian Sub Saharan threat to Evolved Humanity... you NEVER Evolved, that' why you are constantly lusting after Asians, Caucasians and Native Americans, but Evolved Humanity, REJECTS YOU COMPLETELY, YOU GORILLA HEADED MISSING LINK...

[mrfalafl]

Lies.

[TheJewRegulator]

And Asian females prefer to mate with Caucasian men.. And the Asian population is increasing.. And they are rich and intelligent...

You keep all the obese white women. See you on Jerry Springer

[TheJewRegulator]

Neanderthal and Denisovan ass definitely tappable
