1. O no. Homo

Sapiens.

[Girard442]

2. The history of the universe and our particular little piece of it is so vast and grand...

...that it makes the perspective of those who think the universe was just piffed into existence 6,000 years ago look like that of toddlers.

3. Ignorance is bliss for many of those folks

It's scary..

[WinstonSmith4740]

18. My thoughts exactly!

They'd just snort, say something derisive about science, and stick their heads back in the sand. After all, the earth is only 6,000 years old. This is obviously fake news.

21. They're way past the third cataract of Denial

If they even thought about this, their whole world would fall apart. It's all they have and they'll never give it up.

4. It is rare to hear racist complain about Africa and Africans anymore

But I am thrilled when they do to point out we are all Africans and we get our non human Neanderthal DNA from Europe. I know a gross over simplification just consider the bold stupidity of racist white supremists.

5. Nah. The Bible says Odin created white people in Vinland to conquer Insecticons

Maybe it was Omega Supreme, or Optimus Prime

13. LOL

19. Before this is over...

they'll truly believe Trump did it.

6. The average Cro Magnon person had a cranial capacity about 20-25% larger

Than the average living white supremicist.

[Brainstormy]

7. Not sure why they say

this is "recently discovered DNA evidence." Not so recent. I read about it in Sean Carroll's, The Big Picture. An awesome book, by the way.

[gordianot]

11. Very recently there have been quite a few new genetic revelations.

Our ancestors moved around a lot and spread their seeds a lot earlier than originally thought.

14. Will have to check it out

Thanks

[Billb93]

8. It's science

The find was by scientist. They don't believe in science. They will say it is a liberal trick.

[malaise]

15. Very true

They are morons

[HAB911]

9. You assume they read and comprehend

all they think is "Science is Satan"

[PCIntern]

10. That is a remarkable thesis:

Overwhelming actually. From an evolutionary viewpoint it changes everything we assumed to be true until now. Wow.

[Odoreida]

12. It's a good informative article, but it will have zero impact on white supremacists.

It's The New York Times.

"Fake news" you know.

[malaise]

16. Hehehehehe

[bobbieinok]

17. Thank you for the info and link

Very interesting

[malaise]

20. You're welcome

[sarge43]

22. There's solid evidence that the early Neanderthals ranged into Southwestern Asia.

Very possible early H. sapiens sapiens wandered into SW Asia.

So, we all might have been with the ones we loved and loved the ones we're with for a very long time.

23. They should be bald after mitochondrial eve
