Was Jesus Neanderthal by 1 to 4 per cent?

[dtango]

It seem to me that the reductionism and dichotomy that western science attempts to push onto everything via its means of classifying things into distinct categories is a superficial means of measurement to begin with. What is probably far more true is that there never was any cut-and-dried line between two very distinct species of hominids, and what is far more likely to have been the case is that the distinction between what we have classified as being "Homo sapiens" and "Neanderthals" is probably far more fuzzy that western scientists would like to believe.

You need to do some reading on the subject.

A grown up Neanderthal could lift a modern man above his head and shoot him a few meters away.
