Neanderthals originally came from Africa too, they didn’t spontaneously generate in Europe. There’s no pure blooded people, we are products of the places our ancestors lived based upon evolutionary and social pressures.
Maybe, but studies have shown that Africans don’t have any Neanderthal DNA.
What?
Did you think Neanderthals were white?
I’m sorry? I don’t understand why you’d think I think that? This was like hundreds of thousands of years ago, so whatever their skin colour there would have been plenty of time for melanin levels to change since then
So apparently they are indeed only known to have lived in Eurasian zones. I was thinking they they’d been more wide-spread. At some point, they’dve had to come from africa, as well.
Africa being the original continent of all humans is nothing new, and the modern humans and neanderthals, would still have shared a common ancestor, making the idea of a “real” human line kind of tasteless.
The “lower” status of neanderthals is also widely disputed. Just the fact that crossbreeding with fertile results was possible, means the genetic difference was small indeed.
