Sex with Neanderthals Gave Humans Immunity Boost

[Hot Mega]

So I/R goes back even further than we thought.:eek: Q: Thread po-po...should I have deposited this one in the I/R thread.:dunno:

Neanderthals and other extinct humans might have endowed some of us with the robust immune systems we enjoy today, scientists now find.

These genetic gifts might have helped our species as we expanded out of Africa, investigators added.

Although we modern humans are the only surviving members of our lineage, others once roamed the Earth, including familiar Neanderthals and the newfound Denisovans, who lived in what is now Siberia. Genetic analysis of fossils of these extinct lineages has revealed they once interbred with our ancestors, with recent estimates suggesting that Neanderthal DNA made up 1 percent to 4 percent of modern Eurasian genomes and Denisovan DNA made up 4 percent to 6 percent of modern Melanesian genomes.

Interesting how all Humans except for Black Africans contain Neanderthal and Denisivan DNA.

It seems that Black Africans are pure Homo Sapiens who never left Africa, and never interbred with Neandertahls and other species.

New evidence suggests that Neanderthals had large brains and higher intelligence, and more advanced tools than Homosapiens.

It seems also that Black Africans are affected by AIDS so much more than Non Africans, they dont have the immunity boost that other races got by going off and interbreeding with more intelligent beings and evolving and adapting to new conditions.

I have long sought an explanation to the age old question of why are tehir such large differences between average IQ level of different races. Black Africans are at the very bottom of the ladder with average IQ levels being in the 60 and 70s. Perhaps the extra intelligence of the Neanderthals coupled with extra evolution needed to adapt to colder climates and new challenges helped the modern day humans of non African descent evolve to having higher average IQ levels than their African counterparts.

It will be interesting when Science has identified every single gene in the Human Genome, we will be able to identify the specific genes that are responsable for intelligence, we will then be able to test for the frequency of the genes in different races.....My guess is that those humans with the greatest amounts of Neanderthal DNA will have the highest fequwncy of intelligence genes.

My first thought was 'wow.' My second was, I would not have written that. My third and fourth thoughts follow:

About Black Africans being affected by AIDS more than non-Africans, I kinda think that has something to do with lack of sexual education and no protection. 'Cause I'm pretty sure that all races are affected by it.

As to the differences between intelligence levels of the different races, alotta that has to do with what, or even if, they're taught, and also how committed their parents are to their children getting an education. I've seen plenty of equally intelligent people of all races, and I've seen plenty of equally unintelligent people of all races. Some people do have harder times learning, but mostly it seems to be the kid doesn't wanna learn (which isn't that uncommon, as most kids don't wanna be in school), and the parents and teachers don't care. And I maybe misremembering this, but I think I heard somewhere that the Ancient Egyptians were Black Africans, and look what they did. And come to think of it, I think one of the greatest military minds of all, Hannibal, was too. (That would be the one from Africa, not the cigar-smoking Army Colonel who "Loves it when a plan comes together.")

I was under the impression everyone had an equal Chance of catching AIDS no matter what their skin colour or ethnicity although I'm no doctor/scientist so don't hold me to that

Hey, ladies, I'm a neanderthal, want some immunity boost?

My sister has slept with enough Neanderthals that, if this is true, she should be pissing straight Vitamin C by now. :surprise:

 

[C.J.]

I don't get it actually !

Does it mean that African people are pure homo sapiens sapiens,
while European people are mixed between homo sapiens and homo neandertalis ?

 

[The Grasshopper]

Ooga boooga :Flame:

 

[D-rock]

I wonder how they got intact DNA from samples that old. I thought that was pretty much impossible. (Unless science has since marched on and they can now do it.) :dunno:

 

[LukeEl]

See that is what the dinorsaurs should have done, if they lived I would be using one as a crane down at the quary.

How did I miss this gem. Two things...

1.) What are you going to do/say when there is some new, inexplicable case that purports to disprove the theory you cite here?

2.) Does this now mean that, that, that....:o

Great article, Mega. :clap: I hadn't seen that before.

Oh dear god, not the cranium size thing again. Dammit, this theory has been so shot to hell by most credible scientist that it could pass as a slice of Swiss cheese by now. Yet for some odd ass reason people love to cling on to theories from the 19th century.

For starters, an IQ between 60 and 70 means that someone suffers from mild mental retardation. I bullshit you not. Look it up. Since most black people I have seen aren't running around drooling out the side of their mouths and shitting their pants, I doubt that this is the range of their average IQ.

Secondly, the cranium size thing is virtually irrelevant in determining how smart someone is when dealing with individual homo sapiens. Scientist have determined that there are many other factors at play when determining how smart someone is(Like how fast their brain waves move for starters). Ask yourself this: If having a bigger head is directly correlated to how smart you are, wouldn't that mean that women are in general dumber than men because men have bigger heads on average? I have met some extraordinarily smart women in my lifetime. As far as I know, none of them ever rocked a size 8 baseball cap like myself.

Finally, when did being non African mean that you aren't quite as suspect to getting AIDS? Have we forgotten that many parts of Asia, Middle East and South America have high populations of people with HIV and AIDS? As far as I know, unless you are in that tiny fraction of folks who are outright immune to the HIV virus, you fuck someone with AIDS, you are gonna get it too.

P.S. Nice article HM.

Yeah, I was wondering the same.
First I heard of Denisovans. Seems all they have to prove their existence is one damn finger bone found in Russia.

And I never knew homo sapiens bred with Neanderthals......but it says 4% of honkeys have their DNA.
I wonder if Arnold has it or some of those Pollock strongmen.

Good post mega.

Now I suppose blacks can stop wondering why they're the first ones killed off before the opening credits are over in the movies.

You've just explained it eloquently for all of us...:o

But before some of you march down on the IP addresses of Stormfront and chimpout armed with this...

You might want to ask of yourselves;

1.) Does this now make the case for race mixing?

2.) How does if feel to know or accept that you're descendents of blacks?

I read somewhere that ancestors of Black Death survivors (10% of Europeans) are resistant to HIV because of a genetic mutation called Delta 32.

Exactly. It was noted in that case with the guy who saw AIDS disappear when he had a bone marrow transplant. I believe the actual number of people resistant to HIV is less than 1% of the total world population.
