"Homo sapiens interbred with Neandertals"
**"Our Species Mated With Other Human Species, Study Says"
other species"...A study published March 7 in Nature presents genetic evidence that humans left Africa in at least three waves of migration. It suggests that modern humans (Homo sapiens) interbred with archaic humans (Homo erectus and Neandertals) who had migrated earlier from Africa, rather than displacing them..."

Faust, I've seen this argument go back and forth, with another story saying DNA evidence shows that homo sapiens didn't interbreed with Neanderthals. No matter what they end up claiming the truth is, I already know. There are millions of Mexicans here in L.A. County, and I can tell you right now they are living proof that homo sapiens interbred with Neanderthals. The savage, stupid ignorant mestizo criminals are proof of that. Viva la raza.

Blow to Neanderthal breeding theory
Early modern humans and Neanderthals probably did not interbreed, according to evidence collected by Italian scientists.
Neanderthal man: Interbreeding debate continues
Researchers have long considered Neanderthals and the humans that lived in Europe 30,000 years ago as distinct species, even though they lived side by side.
However, there is controversy over theories that Neanderthals made a contribution to the gene pool of people living today.
This has been fuelled by a skeleton uncovered in Portugal that appears to show both Neanderthal and human features.
DNA taken
The latest research, from the University of Ferrara in Italy, compared genetic material from Neanderthals, Cro-Magnon humans and 21st-Century Europeans.
The DNA from the Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons was taken from their bones.
The genetic material was extracted from cell structures called mitochondria rather than the nucleus.
The scientists found that while, unsurprisingly, modern humans show clear genetic signs of their Cro-Magnon ancestry, no such link between Neanderthal DNA and modern European DNA could be established.
The results, they say, indicate that Neanderthals made little or no contribution to the genes of modern humans...

No matter how you slice it or dice it, aboriginal australians arrived in their homeland long before modern homosapiens existed, which explains a lot if you have ever seen these creatures. Interestingly, white genes are strongly dominant over aboriginal genes in determining a mixed individuals phenotype. Look in this part of the world if you want to find "the missing link" as it were. If modern europeans are in fact partially descended from homo neaderthalus, it sure as hell didn't hurt us relative to the rest of the sorry featherless bipeds that inhabit this fair planet.
