EARLY HUMANS MATED NEANRTHALS, HAD GAY MARRIAGE
Archaeologists have unearthed the 5,000-year-old remas of what they believe may have been the world's olst known gay veman. * gay neanderthal *
"Far more likely is that he was a man wh a different sexual orientatn, homosexual or transsexual, " she add.
"But this later disvery was neher of those, leadg to believe the man was probably homosexual or transsexual, " Semeradova said. Neanrthals (left) and Homo sapiens (right) are the clost relativ of each other, and uld terbreed.
THE ALLURE OF GAY CAVEMEN
A new paper propos that Homo sapiens may have been rponsible for the extctn of Neanrthals not by vlence, but through sex stead. Though only 32 Neanrthal genom have been sequenced to date, leavg possible that the lack of Homo sapiens DNA their genome is actually a quirk of samplg, the thors hope advanc DNA sequencg technology will be able to rolve this hypothis by makg more genom available.
Chris says, "Our knowledge of the teractn between Homo sapiens and Neanrthals has got more plex the last few years, but 's still rare to see scientific discsn of how the terbreedg between the groups actually happened. "We propose that this behavr uld have led to the Neanrthals' extctn if they were regularly breedg wh Homo sapiens, which uld have erod their populatn until they disappeared. The first enunters of Neanrthals and Homo sapiens.
Neanrthals and Homo sapiens diverged om each other around 600, 000 years ago and evolved very different areas of the world. It is currently uncerta whether Homo sapiens are the direct scendants of one group of ancient Ain homs or are the rult of mixg between different groups spread across the ntent. From geic data, looks like the two speci first enuntered each other when Homo sapiens began makg ocsnal forays out of Ai about 250, 000 years ago.
WERE THERE GAY NEANRTHALS?
"Whout knowg exactly what Neanrthals looked or behaved like, we n only speculate what Homo sapiens would have thought of their relativ, " Chris says. Breedg between our Homo sapiens anctors and their relativ has led to Neanrthal DNA the genom of many humans alive today. The language barrier may have been rerced by the dividual attribut of both speci, wh parisons of Neanrthal and Homo sapiens suggtg that the bras and vol apparat of the speci were different.
THE OLST KNOWN GAY MAN?
Some studi suggt that rced brow ridg allowed Homo sapiens to turn stead to the eyebrows to nvey a range of subtler, temporary signals.
Neanrthal and Homo sapiens terbreedg.
However, the Neanrthal gen we have today are not the rult of the early sporadic teractns Homo sapiens had when they first left Ai. So far there is no evince of Homo sapiens geics Late Neanrthal genom datg to between 40–60, 000 years ago.
