Neanderthals

People have long discussed the possibility of having Neanderthals as part of our ancestry, whether it is true or not. I personally do believe that the Neanderthal is part of our ancestry. There is evidence that shows we are linked with the Neanderthals. Neanderthals could be compared to common day stereotyping of mentally challenged people as they both have trouble communicating or with the less civilized humans of today’s society.
I have strong confidence in the possibility that Neanderthals are a part of our ancestry. It’s actually more of fact than possibility that the Neanderthal is part of our ancestry. There is actual proof on the subject; according to an article, roughly 60,000 years ago, the Neanderthal bred with early humans and we
“If I have 2 percent and you have 2 percent, we might not have the same DNA between us.” says Benjamin Vernot, a population geneticist at the University of Washington. (Choi) There is a lot of evidence that is leaning in the direction that it is more fact than a mere possibility as I stated before. In today’s society, a person that is less civilized than the ordinary human is, not up to today’s standards of living, or modern technology might be stereotyped as a Neanderthal or the common caveman. The Neanderthal could also be viewed in the same category as the mentally handicapped in terms of racism but also in stereotyping, it’s kind of in the middle. Both can be viewed as lesser beings on the evolutionary ladder. They are both similar in that they both have a hard time communicating at times, but they were actually rather smart for their time. Humans do share DNA with the Neanderthals, some more than others, but it is just the fact that we do is fascinating. It is also interesting that their DNA has not gone extinct and remained in humans all these years. People are stereotyped as Neanderthals sometimes and that is not entirely fair, Stereotyping isn’t fair in
