Africans have little to know Neanderthal DNA East-Asians have about 2.5% on average. Caucasians have about 3.5% on average. "Outnumbered 10-1, Neanderthals weren't hunted to extinction by a supposedly superiour species, they were bred out, genetically swamped." Should we not have an obligation to protect and preserve our Neanderthal DNA?
Mark Bernhardt Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Very interesting! I'm getting ready for work otherwise I would spend longer doing research into this. Hm, do we have an obligation? Do you mean we should selectively not breed with the Chinese? Because that would be the only way not to dilute our small neanderthal gene pool. My answer to that would be no. We should preserve the DNA of the people we love and cherish. Also just food for thought. Imagine if neanderthals survived up until lets say Christ's birth. How much would religious texts be different in the knowledge that we humans are not unique but that there were others with the knowledge of self-awareness. I speculate homo-sapiens would have taken racism to a new level, even worse than the Europeans did with the Native Americans.
Drop_It_Like_Its_Hoppe Posted February 6, 2013 Author Posted February 6, 2013 I would like to think that had Neanderthals not gone extinct, we'd be an intergalactic species by now.
Brandon Buck _BB_ Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Africans have little to know no Neanderthal DNA Fixt. That's an interesting video but it doesn't support the notion that blacks are inferior to whites or any other race.
