Had a good laugh and it made me think, Ozzy probably won't be the only one having such a lineage...
Can you really say anyone is of 100% Homo Sapiens lineage? How does the Neanderthal lineage affect people in contrary of that of Homo Sapiens?

To be clear, i'm not jumping the gun to autism :wink:


Just for fun, a little of-the-side poll :lol:

Cheerfully,
Wallourdes

There is recent research suggesting Neanderthal genetic material exists in a small percentage of humans.

That would explain lawyers. :twisted:

i was reading that it is only non-african races that have neanderthal blood in them... i dug out the article. specifically:

Science Illustrated, September/October 2010, p. 73 wrote:
1 to 4% of the current Eurasian genome is derived from Neanderthals.


this does not mean that 1 to 4% of Eurasian people have Neanderthal genes, but that in all of us (non-African individuals) 1 to 4% of our total genes are derived from Neanderthals.



here is a picture of the happy family tree:

Does the rdos theory still have wings or has it been shot down?
Consider where science has advanced most, china and europe.
Does that come from the aspies and proto-aspies?
I recall Temple Grandin said something like 'no autism' = 'no science'.
Whats the autism rate in non-neanderthal peoples?

The Rdos theory: http://www.rdos.net/eng/
A long shot theory, shame that there are no more Neanderthals left to compare...

Non-neanderthals, as in +/-100% Homo Sapiens - try the San as given in the flowchart above me.
