Wow.
Missed 'em by only 15,000 years.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Damn cool article! Twas always my goal to go into archaeology, and anthropology, still the best classes I ever took.
So what do you make of this minimalist? Pardon my lack of understanding, but I'm interested in the breeding of neaderthals and homo sapiens, or whatever we called them at that stage? I've heard many Africans say they are the original people, and I tend to understand we came out of Africa, but what's your perspective?

Again very interesting. So from that point of view, the human tree spread out earlier, and we have evolved into different races possibly earlier? To be honest I'm not arguing here, because I really don't know, but find it fascinating. I remember my anthropology teacher saying there is more DNA similarity than difference between the races. I'd be curious more what you think because you are involved in this study I think right?

Obviously there is insufficient difference to preclude interbreeding between the races. What we learned a few years ago with the neanderthal genome project is that there was insufficient difference to preclude interbreeding between these so called species. Hence we must now wonder if they were different species at all.
