"In the last two years it has become clear that there was considerable inter-breeding between Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals ... about 2 to 4 percent of the DNA of each individual European is Neanderthal," he said.

Except the Irish, they have Basque DNA.

I went through boot camp with a guy that looked like he could have been a museum display of a Neanderthal.

As to bigfoot and yetis, possible yes, probable no.

So convinced that behind the scenes (meaning not in public view) she and her team have begun to put together materials to pass onto congress to ensure the protection of the species. They are afraid that once their study confirms the existence of the undocumented hominid, that hunters will go out in force to bag a body.

I have always been intrigued by the hypothesis that Neanderthals were humans who lived to an advanced age.

But then, I know almost nothing about Neanderthals, so that could be simply absurd.
