Quotes About Neanderthal

We have lots of Neanderthal parts around the lab. We are creating Neanderthal cells. Let's say someone has a healthy, normal Neanderthal baby. Well, then, everyone will want to have a Neanderthal kid. Were they superstrong or supersmart? Who knows? But there's one way to find out.
~ George M. Church
The Neanderthal graves and bear sanctuaries, our earliest certain evidences of religious ritual, point to an attempt to cope with the imprint of death.
~ Joseph Campbell
For a century the Neanderthal people have worn a stigma of hunched brutish grunting cavemen. Facial reconstructions of their skulls show them to look not exactly like us, and not exactly pretty. But beauty is a very subjective matter, and just because you don't fancy them doesn't mean that your ancestors didn't. They definitely had sex with them.
~ Adam Rutherford
The 'control of nature' is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and philosophy, when it was supposed that nature exists for the convenience of man.
~ Rachel Carson
Le développement de l'encéphale s'est surtout accéléré au cours des derniers 500 000 ans pour donner à Néandertal le plus gros cerveau qu'un hominine ait jamais possédé. Les 1 400 à 1 500 cm3 du cerveau de nombreux néandertaliens dépassent les 1 350 cm3 de la moyenne actuelle.
~ Jean-Jacques Hublin
Obviously, I need to leave," she said, while thinking, Tell me I'm your Bride, and that I will be staying. Be an arrogant, possessive Neanderthal vampire! She wanted him to simply inform her that he would never let her go and she would just have to accept that, or whatever
~ Kresley Cole
Una reconstrucción especulativa de un niño neandertal. Las pruebas genéticas indican que al menos algunos neandertales pudieron haber tenido la piel y el pelo claros.
~ Yuval Noah Harari
It turned out that 1–4 per cent of the unique human DNA of modern populations in the Middle East and Europe is Neanderthal DNA. That's not a huge amount, but it's significant. A second shock came several months later, when DNA extracted from the fossilised finger from Denisova was mapped. The results proved that up to 6 per cent of the unique human DNA of modern Melanesians and Aboriginal Australians is Denisovan DNA.
~ Yuval Noah Harari
There was a long silence, during which Hall seemed lost in thought. "Who knows," he mused finally, almost to himself. "Maybe you've got some Neanderthal DNA in you somewhere.
~ Douglas E. Richards
I kind of blew the doors off the myth that all heavy metalheads are Neanderthal and very limited in their ability to take on subject matter of any human depth.
~ Rob Halford
The first thing you have to do is to sequence the Neanderthal genome, and that has actually been done. The next step would be to chop this genome up into, say, 10,000 chunks and then... assemble all the chunks in a human stem cell, which would enable you to finally create a Neanderthal clone.
~ George M. Church
Maybe killing comes naturally to people, an instinct nobody likes to admit, a survival reflex inherited from our Neanderthal cousins. So maybe it's the other stuff, the good manners that supposedly make us human, that are the real aberrations.
~ Elizabeth Brundage
given a shave and a new suit, the pair wrote, a Neanderthal probably would attract no more attention on a New York City subway "than some of its other denizens.
~ Elizabeth Kolbert
all non-Africans, from the New Guineans to the French to the Han Chinese, carry somewhere between one and four percent Neanderthal DNA.
~ Elizabeth Kolbert
Even now, at least thirty thousand years after the fact, the signal is discernible: all non-Africans, from the New Guineans to the French to the Han Chinese, carry somewhere between one and four percent Neanderthal DNA.
~ Elizabeth Kolbert
Neanderthal graves. Bones beneath her feet, perhaps. The rocks in the garden would've once been larger, bright and shadowed with early-human firelight, and the land around them would've seemed empty and forever. There'd have been no concept of oceans. No awareness of planets. And here, right before her, are those same silhouettes of mountains, the same spikes of peaks. A shared view, glimpsed across time.
~ Gian Sardar
Viable offspring capable of reproduction resulted from all these liaisons and in August 2018, Denisova Cave obliged yet again by yielding up a bone fragment, more than 50,000 years old and in sufficiently good condition for genome sequencing. It turned out to have belonged to a female, about 13 years of age, who had a Neanderthal mother and a Denisovan father.57
~ Graham Hancock
the average Neanderthal cranial capacity was greater than that of modern humans.
~ Juan Luis Arsuaga
Scientists have named this newly discovered species "Nebranderthal Man" (Homo nebranderthalensis.)
~ Bob Hoffman
There is no question that a Neanderthal could easily beat us up. So, too, presumably could their women, which may be why we are only 2 percent Neanderthal instead of 50 percent. Those bitches were too scary for us.
~ Bill Bryson

~ Bill Bryson
You look at the modern humans that a lot of us have slept with and it is hardly a surprise if a Neanderthal maiden or two might have twinkled by the campfire light.
~ Bill Bryson
I don't know why scientists have been so resistant to the idea of interbreeding. You look at the modern humans that a lot of us have slept with and it is hardly a surprise if a Neanderthal maiden or two might have twinkled by the campfire light.
~ Bill Bryson
other words, he is more closely related to any of the Neanderthal samples, all of which date from at least 30,000 years ago, than he is to any living man, woman or child on the planet.
~ Frank Cavallo
