Quote:I don't get why there is so much surprise about inbreed between neanderthals and homo sapiens
Because for many years the proponents of the Out of Africa theory maintained that there had been no inter-breeding between these separate "species."
Similarly, for many years the proponents of the Clovis-First theory maintained that the Americas were uninhabited until Siberian hunters crossed over on a land bridge. Archaeology has trashed that theory in the last 20 years just as genetics has hammered Out of Africa on the inter-breeding routine.
