The craziest thing for me is that there's a lot of evidence for claiming that Sapiens interbred with other Homos, such as the Neanderthal.

- danielbln 2y agoWhy is that crazy? Looking at human history, this doesn't come as much of a shock, does it?

- im3w1l 2y agoHow certainly do we actually know that? If the evidence you claim is that there are no Y-chromosomes from other hominids, an alternative explanation could be that hybrids with Y-chromosomes from other hominids did exist, but disappeared gradually over the centuries/millenia either because they were less fit or through pure chance. Are there any now living people with mt-dna from other hominids? Having a minority non-autosomal genotype could be an issue as there might be recurring "compatibility problems", given that the autosomal dna would mainly evolve to work with the majority mtdna and ydna.
- ginko 2y agoThe genetic evidence points into the other direction: > There is considerably less Neanderthal ancestry on the X-chromosome compared to the autosomal chromosomes, which similarly suggests that admixture with modern humans was primarily the result of mating between modern human females and Neanderthal males. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal_genetics#Parentage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal_genetics#Parentage

- gigachad69 2y agoa lot of evidence as in most europeans, eurasians and east asians have some percentage of neanderthal genes in their DNA
- wincy 2y agoIf you’ve seen Star Trek the Original Series it shows you precisely how much humans are into humanoid subspecies. They could be green for all a dude who hasn’t seen a woman in a week could care!
- thaumasiotes 2y ago> They could be green for all a dude who hasn’t seen a woman in a week could care! Not a great example; the green women are specifically shown to exert pheromonal control over alien males.
- IAmBroom 2y agoI can't smell them on TV, and Vina the Orion still had a lot of control over me.
- encipriano 2y agoIsnt neanderthal sapiens. Also, not all modern humans
- IAmBroom 2y ago"sapiens" is our species name. They are Homo neanderthalis, so they are Homo, which is probably what you were intending.
