Recent work on the Neandertal genome has raised the possibility of admixture between Neandertals and the expanding population of Homo sapiens who left Africa between 80 and 50 Kya (thousand years ago) to colonize the rest of the world.Here, we provide evidence of a notable presence (9% overall) of a Neandertal-derived X chromosome segment among all contemporary human populations outside Africa.
Our analysis of 6,092 X-chromosomes from all inhabited continents supports earlier contentions that a mosaic of lineages of different time depths and different geographic provenance could have contributed to the genetic constitution of modern humans.
It indicates a very early admixture between expanding African migrants and Neandertals prior to or very early on the route of the out-of-Africa expansion that led to the successful colonization of the planet.

Yep, but I think this might actually explain global white supremacy. The Neanderthals who--according to their descendants--were thick skulled, brutish and strong, weren't wipe out. rather, their genetic code lives on in our oppressors who in Neanderthal fashion traveled around the world picking fights with strangers and understanding little.

Problem is, how do they continuously outwit an intellectually superior opponent?

That's good shit GI.
Hell of a point.
Welcome to the spot.

How?
Easy Cash.
Feed the intellectually superior opponents blood and starch.
Dumb them down.
Dumb them down below the level of Neanderthals.
A friend of mine saw this on your FB, Denmark, and told me I had to check it out. So interesting, as were each of the posts. I read your FB and check out your website and its links pretty often because I feel like I'm coming up for some clean air from the other stuff around me. Thank you for the perspective and information you offer.
Hello Marlena, welcome to the spot.
Glad you like it here. You will find a diverse cast of characters from all over the spectrum.
Agreement is overrated, so you often will see us swinging from the shoulder.
But it is all love.
I invite people to express themselves. Say whatever you want.
Just have some style when you do it and be prepared to back it up.
Make yourself at home.
