Seen a few people with the Neanderthal Forehead. Guess they would be running in the high percentages.

Did Neanderthals really die out, or just hybridize? If their DNA is present that speaks to them not having died out, and 'modern humans' being a hybrid, even if one had stronger DNA that dominated.

Old news, actually. :D From August, 2011 - Ancient DNA reveals secrets of human history : Nature News

Last I heard, there are some hybrids and some H. Sapiens. The genetic hybrids are mostly European.

Maybe that's why the world is getting so screwed up, the Neanderthal genes are the dominant genes and the human genes are recessive.

I think I'd be pretty freaking hybridized. But I suppose, yeah, if there are some H.Sapiens still alive sans Neanderthal DNA, but not pure Neanderthals left, one died out and the other didn't. Interesting.
Definitely interesting. heheh Now you can see one reason I married Anna. The house will be all nice n peaceful with me watching eyelid movies or reading and her reading some anthro journal and then emitting a yelp or a guffaw followed by several paragraphs of explanation for the yelp/guffaw. lol
