Pure, Thoroughbred Neanderthals?

[Unome]

I believe the following women represent the 'purest' types of Neanderthals (aboriginal Northern Europeans) and if given a 23andme or another genetic test, they probably would score the highest Neanderthal admix (>3.0%). I guess that these women probably have direct maternal links to the ancient Neanderthal people.

What do you think?

First one doesn't look Northern Euro. Is she Jewish?

She does look Alpignid with an exotic vibe(Asiatic Alpignid?), quite obvious Homo Erectus admixture.

I think there's virtually no genetic evidence you could provide to convince people there was such a thing or even close today, but I think that europeans are actually much closer than we are given credit for.

They've got a few sample of DNA and use that to make all the comparisons. But that's like only having one modern north european as a guiding point to see how european someone is. Back then the differences due to distance would have been much greater as well.

I still hold out hope neanderthal mtdna survives, and I think A00 could be theorizes to actually be neanderthal y-dna, since almost all its samples were found in france and the rest found in the most europe admixed part of africa.

But I think like modern europeans (though this is less and less true) neanderthals probably came in many different phenotypes.

this is stupid. There is not enough Neanderthal dna/ancestry in ANY person alive today at all, to have ANY influence or impact on their physical appearance what so ever, especially their facial features

or else all those white americans with 5% (roughly) or whatever native indian or african american dna would have subtle injun/afro-american features, which they dont

no matter how much neanderthal dna someone alive today has its still not even close to being enough to impact anything as far as their physical appearance goes at all, not even their skin or eye or hair color.

the first woman has more, somewhat alpignid influence IMO than neanderthal (?)

sometimes people on here should leave the classifying up to the real true anthropologists/scientists who actually know what they're doing, LOL

You actually can prove this assertion through 23andme, and other genetic testing companies (Neanderthal admix % > 3.0).

So saying "you can't prove that" is false. It actually is very easy to prove the fact.

A minority amount of redheaded Northern European people converted to Judaism throughout European history; because pagan Europeans and Jews shared a common enemy (Roman Empire/Christianity).

A common enemy can unite strangers quite easily.

Looks like German basketball player Dirk Nowitzki's long lost brother.
