    It's funny, but sometimes you see someone who looks like they are part Neandertal. So I have no doubt that they may have interbred with us.

    LOL @ BP! I've often thought the same thing. Been thinking about it ever since I saw Pat Benetar in concert years ago.

    You know, "MAY" and "MIGHT" don't actually equal DID.

    Correct. The interbreeding did happen, the advanced immune system MAY be the result.

    According to an article in Discovery a few months back, present-day human DNA has about 3% sequences that can be traced to Neanderthal genes. There is an additional 5% that traces to an ancient sem-human species call Denisovans.
