    Default Neanderthals at your club....

    No, seriously. It appears large portion of the population carries 1-4% Neanderthal genes.

    Science reporter, BBC News

    Many people alive today possess some Neanderthal ancestry, according to a landmark scientific study.

    The finding has surprised many experts, as previous genetic evidence suggested the Neanderthals made little or no contribution to our inheritance.

    The result comes from analysis of the Neanderthal genome - the "instruction manual" describing how these ancient humans were put together.

    Between 1% and 4% of the Eurasian human genome seems to come from Neanderthals.

    But the study confirms living humans overwhelmingly trace their ancestry to a small population of Africans who later spread out across the world.

    [Neanderthals] are not totally extinct, in some of us they live on - a little bit
    Professor Svante Paabo
    Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology

    The most widely-accepted theory of modern human origins - known as Out of Africa - holds that the ancestors of living humans (Homo sapiens) originated in Africa some 200,000 years ago.

    A relatively small group of people then left the continent to populate the rest of the world between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago.

    While the Neanderthal genetic contribution - found in people from Europe, Asia and Oceania - appears to be small, this figure is higher than previous genetic analyses have suggested.

    "They are not totally extinct. In some of us they live on, a little bit," said Professor Svante Paabo, from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.

    I love the BBC. I remember seeing a doc about the child's skeleton in Portugal that they determined to be a hybrid. I am unsure whether the interbreeding was social/experimental/consensual or whether it was done via invasion, pillaging, and force. But it's fascinating.

    Places to find neanderthals:

    The guys at the clubs who never tip or buy a dance thinking they'll get laid.
    Online sites are loaded with them.
    Most of the guys around my area are them. Then they wonder why women (besides streetwalkers probably) want anything to do with them.
    Those overweight, unattractive guys who get drunk at football games, paint their bellies and start fights? Neanderthals.

    I have said for a long time that humans interbred with Neanderthals. Why the hell wouldn't they have done?! Also, maybe this could explain where Rhesus negative blood comes from. Makes more sense than a sudden 'mutation'. Haemolytic disease is the allergic reaction that occurs when an Rhesus negative mother is carrying a Rh positive child. There is only one other case in nature where this happens- in mules, which we all know are a hybrid between two species.

    How about guys who paint their face?
