    45,000-Year-Old Bone Pinpoints Era of Human-Neanderthal Sex

    OK, so ancient Scottish fish the first to have sex was not exiciting enough for some of you, today we have 45,000-Year-Old Bone Pinpoints Era of Human-Neanderthal Sex!!

    Unearthed by an ivory carver from a Siberian riverbank, a man's 45,000-year-old thigh bone reveals when people first mated with Neanderthals, an international genetics team reports Wednesday.

    Scientists collected DNA from the bone and analyzed the ancient man's complete genetic map, or genome. The DNA narrows down the time when mating first brought Neanderthal genes into the human gene pool: from 50,000 to 60,000 years ago.

    "It's really exciting...," says study author and genetics expert Janet Kelso of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany.

    Saw his on Yahoo earlier.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Poor old Neanderthal. Cro Magdon rolled out of Africa right over his ass. The "sex" was likely rape as that's part of what advanced cultures do to other cultures. Another question might be how long were Neanderthal and Modern Man separated from each other since they obviously had a common ancestor recently enough to be able to breed successfully with one another.

    Interesting question though on separation.

    And the answer is here, Humans Broke Off Neanderthal Sex After Discovering Eurasia

    Neanderthals apparently last interbred with the ancestors of today's Europeans after modern humans with advanced stone tools expanded out of Africa, researchers say.

    The last sex between Neanderthals and modern humans likely occurred as recently as 47,000 years ago, the researchers added.

    Modern humans once shared the globe with now-departed human lineages, including the Neanderthals, our closest known extinct relatives. Neanderthals had been around for about 30,000 years when modern humans appeared in the fossil record about 200,000 years ago. Neanderthals disappeared about 30,000 year ago.
    Separated 200,000 years ago.

    Started having sex 50,000 to 60,000 years ago, and stopped about 47,000 years ago.

    Just how reliable is DNA from super old bones? From my reading, very non reliable.

    That why it says "The DNA narrows down the time when mating first brought Neanderthal genes into the human gene pool: from 50,000 to 60,000 years ago."
