Neandertals are the best known of the ancient humans, the only kind of ancient person in most people's imaginations.
I've worked so much on Neandertals because for some questions they're the only group for whom we have a hope of testing hypotheses. It just happens that we've found more of their bones than any other humans from their era -- a lot more in some cases. The skeletal evidence has emerged over more than 150 years, and today we can add the tremendous and growing store of genetic information from ancient DNA. Put these sources of evidence together, and Neandertals are providing the richest and most interesting scientific problems in paleoanthropology today.
This blog is mostly writing-related, my writing in particular. But when the need arises, I'm also going to post prehistoric and medieval stuff, too. That's what my Great Medieval Science Fiction Masterpiece With Neandertals is about, after all!
quote=gy2020;20460520]Curious: Maybe blonde hair and blue eyes was a Neanderthal trait?, considering that Cro Magmon came from Africa and was probably black with dark traits. These traits would make the Neanderthal more appealing and would have sped up our obtaining these features.[/quote]
Actually, it is believed that the gene for red hair originated with Neanderthals. But if you think that all Neanderthals were ugly bruts, think again:
Brian, the Cavegirl article stated that also, however, most did not think we had much Neanderthal in us. I'm just postulating that that could have been a latent gene from the Neanderthal that made its way back into our gene pool later. A hottie Neanderthal would have encouraged the dark skin Cro Magnon to pair. Not really serious, just having some fun!!

where do you get your info about cro-mags being dark skin? (how dark?).
They made up the majority of the Aurignacian culture peoples that encompassed all of europe and ukraine estimated 45,000 b.c. - 31,000 b.c. (along with the neanderthals) as they originated above the black sea caucasus region hence the term ''caucasian'' for europeans.

Obviously neanderthals get a bad rap in todays world however they were the ''only'' species of humans to survive in the areas subjugated to the ''last glacial period'' that encompassed most of europe and russia. Noticed that they died out (31,000 b.c.) as those glaciers were retreating back then.
I wouldn't be surprised as the ice continues to melt that in the future we find their bones in antarctica .

Another Irish babe, Maureen O'Hara--must be the neandertal gene! Don't forget the Irish temper!
