Title: Study: Archeologists find remains of human-Neanderthal hybrid

Researchers believe they have pinpointed the skeletal remains of the first known human-Neanderthal hybrid, according to a study published Wednesday in the peer reviewed scientific journal PLoS ONE.

The finding comes from northern Italy, where some 40,000 years ago scientists believe Neanderthals and humans lived near each other, but developed separate and distinctly different cultures.

A portion of a jawbone found during an archaeological dig in the area reveals that the bone’s owner had facial features attributable to both modern humans and Neanderthals, the study explains.

Scientists have debated the theory of human-Neanderthal interbreeding since DNA analysis revealed in 2010 that modern humans share significant portions of their genetic code with their long extinct cousins.

Studies since then have suggested that inbreeding might not have been the case and that humans and Neanderthals instead likely shared a common ancestor before Neanderthals died out about 50,000 years ago, but the findings in PLoS One seem to contradict that thinking.

Of course, despite the wonders of modern science, there’s really no telling whether the sex was consensual or not, but the PLoS One study does seem to suggest that a scenario not unlike the “Clan of the Cave Bear” books is indeed plausible. ——

There were Neanderthals in North America - Clovus and the Solutreans. Some of the skeletons were 6'2".

Non-Africans average 2.5% Neanderthal DNA. Africans don't have any, which is why they're retarded and the lowest form of human.

"According to Richard Lynn and others, racial differences in IQ scores are observed around the world. A commonly-cited review by Richard Lynn lists IQ scores for East Asians (105), Europeans (99), Inuit (91), Southeast Asians and Amerindians (87 each), Pacific Islanders (85), South Asians/North Africans (84), Non-Bushmen sub-Saharan Africans (67), Australian Aborigines (62) and Bushmen (54)."

Southeast Asians and Amerindians (87 each)

I kind of find this surprising since they are Asian but don't have the IQ scores of the Chinese or the Japanese. IQ scores are highly overrated though, I wouldn't put too much stock in them. A much better measure of intelligence is what a person actually accomplishes in their life instead of their score on a test.

It must be possible to test math, spatial relationships, and basic reasoning without a cultural bias. Granted, math relies upon an understanding of Arabic numerals, but no one without this basic knowledge is likely to be taking the test in the first place.

I scored pretty high on these tests, yet felt like an idiot when I took the SAT, because so many of the questions were phrased it the form of X is to Y as Q is to... and both X and Y were words I had never seen, may as well have been types of suchi or obscure olive cultivars.

The what comes next type questions, on the other hand, I nailed those. It's always the circle with the upper left quandrant shaded red.

If there was a slather ribs with barbecue sauce portion I would prolly have been declared a genius long ago.

I score fairly high too on them, but thought many of the questions were just silly. If I was really as "smart" as my IQ score of 144 says I am then I really should have done much better in my life than I have so far.

Are you content with your life?

So long as your essential worldly needs are taken care of, that is really all that matters.

FWIW, you seem content.
