No. Why do you ask? I do not believe that you are trying to insult me, and it does not ruffle my feathers, but it is a good attempt.

That will be a yes.

Yeah but, Neanderthals are really good in the sack.

No they weren't. Havent you ever seen the movie "Quest for Fire?" Doggy style was all they knew until Rae Dawn Chong came along and taught them the missionary style.

The earlier DNA research concerned mitochondrial DNA. As mitochondria are only passed on by the females, this was not conclusive evidence of no interbreeding between us and them. However, this new research appears to have identified nuclear DNA. When that establishes a genetic distance of half a million years, it is conclusive evidence that no Neanderthal alleles have been incorporated into our gene pool.

We will have to wait and see what new DNA research turns up, but at the moment it looks like all Neanderthal alleles have been lost and that they indeed became extinct. Unless there is a zoo of Neanderthals on a planet in a galaxy far away...

If something "appears," then it cannot be conclusive. Plus, new research needs to be peer reviewed and replicated before it can be conclusive. Ultimately, however, I really don’t care. I was being (or apparently attempting, and failing to be) humourous. All I’m saying is... don’t you occasionally see someone with a really thick brow ridge and think to yourself, "throwback."

The wicked rumour that Neanderthals are alive and well and making foreign policy in western capitals is a lie. Apparently Neanderthals never interbred with Homosapiens so I guess we have to assume that Homosapiens aren't as developed as we originally thought.

I am a longshoreman. I work with Neanderthal all day long.

Some of them are married and get pregnant by non-Neanderthal.

The premise of that article is flawed.

Just me, etc.

Missionary is lovely, but I would rather bang Rae Dawn Chong dog style.
