The case
for Neandertals as more primitive members of an evolutionary continuum that
spans from apes to modern man continues to weaken. Genetic and archaeological
finds are completely reshaping modern concepts of Neandertal men and women.
Researchers
interested in unraveling humanity's past recently sequenced a female
Neandertal's ancient DNA and published their results in Nature. The research included sequences that closely matched: Neandertal,
Denisovan, modern man, plus an unidentified variation of man. The study authors
suspected that these different groups interbred. Just as prior studies showed,
this one confirmed that similarities between Neandertal and other human DNA
sequences place "Miss Neandertal" inside human kind.
In the
context of biblical history, ancient families founded tribes and nations soon
after their dispersal from the Tower of Babel. It appears these ancient people
showed much wider variation in genetic and physical differences than the more
limited range found across today's human populations. If accurate, then we would fully expect Neandertal peoples to have
been able to interbreed with other post-Babel peoples.
Archaeology
also confirms this biblical perspective. Though about 40 Neandertal graves show
intentional and ritual burial rites, many scientists remain intent on defending
their long-held position that Neandertals were too primitive—too ape-like—to
bury their dead so reverently. They ask for more proof(???) that the Neandertal
remains had not been altered after death to merely give the appearance of non-accidental
burial.
All emphasis added.

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly.
