Came across this link in my wanderings. No great feelings about it but it seems to be the type of stuff CC likes so I've posted it.

Yep. Things must have looked a bit grim for single individuals, particularly after the Toba bottleneck (70k years ago). Not many choices, probably:

dammit I read that thread title as were-neanderthals and was getting all excited for some prehistoric lycanthropy (although with hindsight the lovers part makes that a bit disturbing)

were-Neanderthals
I knew tons of these in university, not fueled by full moon but rather alcohol. The cure seamed to be girlfriends…

"And if they did not make war, surely they made love?"

Umm you mean we can't have any in-between at all?

Those Neanderthal chicks must have been two-baggers! Hmmm, heavy brow ridge, no chin…SEXY!!

If I remember correctly, they did further DNA testing and confirmed that the two groups that co-existed could not have produced offspring. The DNA strands were not compatable.

"Those Neanderthal chicks must have been two-baggers!"

LOL. I would not have gotten that if it had not been for my friendship with a Scottish buddy who uses that phrase every once in a while.

Lovers and no doubt about it. Go to Bradford on a Saturday night – THEIR OFFSPRING LIVE!

Knowing people, probably both.

Both?

Both.

I'm sure that some humans fought some Neanderthals from time to time. Humans are notably aggressive, judging by history.

I'm also certain that there were some kind of human-neanderthal sexual relations at some point. Again, judging by history and news reporting, there seems to be a demographically significant fraction of the male gender that will engage in sexual congress with almost anything – animals, vegetables, corpses, the list seems endless. If someone will steal pumpkins for this purpose, it seems extremely likely that somewhat different women would certainly be sought by someone.

Hmm.. I wonder how much of that will make it through the filters, and/or offend everyone.

Wow. It all made it through the filters!
