Cro Magnons too

At 100k and 20k years ago or so.

As a bonus american indians and black resemble cro magnons

Hmm, but geneticists say there was interbreeding with them

And there are no living or dead examples of the intermediate species between them and humans

And by your own admission, Neanderthals look a lot like blacks. So is it possible that the Neanderthals are just black people?

Geneticists say non-Africans have nuclear DNA but not mitochondrial DNA from Neanderthals so likely, only male Nenderthals could mate with female humans

And not the reverse

23&me says my dad has higher then usual neanderthal DNA 😏

Likely Neanderthals were just a subspecies of humans, like dogs vs wolves

And that would also account for their extinction

By Father William of Occam's razor, which you like to suggest, that's the simplest solution.

It takes the least assumptions and does not require such a rare occurrence

Blacks are Neanderthals and could only mate male to women?

Idk it sorta checks out

It would also explain why no one likes black women. Also dont blacks normally have a slighty different skull and have extra leg muscles?

They also happen to be the most numerous of the "native" types that were stuck with inferior civilization level.

They moved forward just at a far slower pace. That would make so much sense. I could get behind that.

No, I don't think Neanderthals were Africans

I agree to a degree

I also think Indians are too

If not American ones definitely Mayans Inca and Olmecs

The statues they left behind have "black" features such as the big ass nose and lips.

It also accounts for the 20 point IQ drop

Well if that's true...and it certainly could be...then Neanderthals are technically human. Just really dumb ones. And thus not a missing evolutionary link, since they're just humans with a certain gene pool

Is it me or are Atheists more inclined to follow the "listen and believe" mentality than Theists?

Listen and believe is sorta Theists whole thing though...

Actually, no. Listen and believe is pretty common among Atheists, especially when referring to the Bible.

That doesnt mean Theists dont do the same

If you "interpret" the text differently you are a different denomination but within that you all belive roughly the same thing

The difference is that Atheists claim they don't do it and chastize Theists for doing it.

The same cant be said of athiest

When an Atheist does it, it makes them a hypocrite.

Not really its all part of learning
