Believe It, Or Don't! --- Neandertal genome

[Rudy Toody]

Scientists unveil the first draft of the Neandertal genome, which suggests that Neandertals and humans did not interbreed much.

Simple explanation: neither group had discovered alcohol yet.

Hmm, "not invented", that is right.

But they may have used it ... think of all the drunk birds you can see.
Fermented berries can have up to 6.2% ethanol. Eat 1 kg of fermented berries with approximately 5% ethanol and you get 50 grams ethanol (which corresponds to 4/5 of a bottle of wine).

Consider that the guys were mych smaller than we are (length of approx 145 - 155 cm, bodymass 45 - 50 kg); 50 kg bodymass equals approximately 29 kg of body water (in which the etahnol dissolves), which gives a blood ethanol concentration of approx 0,15 percent (if you eat all the berries in one shot, i.e. in less than one hour).

You may get quite inebriated with 0,12 - 0,15% BAC - especially if you have no tolerance ...

So your contention does not hold water 😉 and the Cro Magnon (?) and Neanderthals may have cohabitated in the same area. 😉

I changed the OP. The old saying in the dating game is: 10 o'clock twos become 2 o'clock tens.

I've seen the drawings of the two groups in those days and it is not a pretty sight.

Lol, & what was that last post about?? 😉😕

Maybe Neandertal men had small privates? So women of neither species were interested, hence we didn't interbreed & they died out 😀

From one of the lessons in english during my first year in high school:

Short and thick, that does the trick and produces the baby.
Long and thin, that goes right in, does not please the lady.

We had a teacher with a sense of humor ... and a very weird sense of fun ... 🙂

When I asked my second ex what she preferred, she said, "They all please me."

Yeah, but the english have their opinions, don't they?
