Not Related to the Neanderthals
Timothy Birdnow
Now it seems Europeans aren't descended from Neanderthals after all.
Too bad; I rather liked the idea of being bred of those knuckle-dragging thick skulled pre-men! Of course, my wife cannot be convinced I am of any other bloodline!
From the article:
Also, apparently Neanderthals had bigger brains than the Cro-Magnon/Homo Sapiens.
The article asks "why are we smarter?"
Well, who says we are? We are the hominids who created warfare. We are the ones who invented disco music and rap. We are the ones who voted for Joe Biden (well, some of us.) We are the ones who devised socialism and intersectionality. We invented pet rocks and Tomagatchis, mood rings, bell bottoms, leg warmers. We created the Kardashians and the Markles. We invented transgenderism and critical race theory.
The Neanderthals are looking smarter all the time.

From the article:
By
analysing the genomes of 50 people with European ancestry and 70 people
with sub-Saharan African ancestry, Beleza's team could estimate when
the three genes – and pale skin – first became widespread in European
populations. The result suggested that the three genes associated with
paler skin swept through the European population only 11,000 to 19,000
years ago.
"The selective sweeps for favoured European [versions of the three genes] started well after the first migrations of modern humans into Europe," says Beleza.
The finding agrees with earlier studies suggesting that modern humans did not lose their dark skins immediately on reaching Europe, says Katerina Harvati at the University of Tübingen in Germany. "[The new study] is interesting because it suggests a very late differentiation of skin pigmentation among modern humans," she says.
