I Am An Archaeologist

I can't wait to hit the field! I want to study the Neanderthals. I have a hypothesis which explains their disappearance.

Most are usually killed. The remainder are interbred. This is what happened to the original white natives of North America many thousands of years ago.
@PrivatePeeks [b]That’s[/b] what white supremacists are claiming. It’s racist bullsh*t.

@PrivatePeeks Hmmmmmmmmm....no serious scientific indexed publications on that storytelling at all.

Yes some very preliminar about occidental interbreeding of north asiatics and early scandinavians. But that was researched on people that lived about the III century BC and in North West Europe.
Nothing near to what you are saying!
CharlieZ · 70-79, M
@PrivatePeeks Would you provide us a link to a or refference about this on a serious academic scientific publication?
I honestly doubt there is such a thing.

i think we are neanderthals, we just evolved, if the indigenous, of Australia have been in Australia for 40,000 years that means, neanderthals evolved, and never really extinct

@Anonymouslyyours86 that is quite the statement but hard to argue not that I would. I think you're right
Anonymouslyyours86 · 36-40, F
@BearDownChicago of course, 😌😎😋I'm always right

Did you see the story about the biggest T-Rex they found
Nomad · 36-40, F
No worries. I get it ALL THE TIME. I get Jurassic Park references too. Lol
BearDownChicago · 41-45, M
@NomadNah. I know the difference. Momentary lapse of judgement
Nomad · 36-40, F
Lol. It's all good. I will check it out though because I do like dinosaurs. I just like humans better.
Wonderful field of work and hope you find someone nice to travel with
Anonymouslyyours86 · 36-40, F
what can you find now a days nearly everything's been found, from people before you, the only thing you can do is discover or change someone els's theories...you'd have to wait till our generations dead to discover who we died ?
Nomad · 36-40, F
@Anonymouslyyours86 Yes, there are a lot of old discoveries that are being studied, but new discoveries are made all the time.
Anonymouslyyours86 · 36-40, F
@Nomad ooooh like what are the new discoveries?
Nomad · 36-40, F
There's so many you'd have to Google them. Lol.

Cool. Sounds like fun and interesting work. 👍️

Interesting theories can always be very good :)

How exciting and fascinating. I always assumed neanderthals could not compete with modern humans and were absorbed in to the modern human population.
Or eradicated.
What is your theory?
Nomad · 36-40, F
@Atrevido1 I think that they were smart and tough enough to survive 40,000 years during the pleistocene (ice age). I don't believe they were inferior.
Atrevido1 · 61-69, M
@Nomad Ok. I see. They were built tough for sure. Very Very interesting
Atrevido1 · 61-69, M
@Nomad I may not be thinking outside the box as you would have to to really come up with good answers.
I assumed, it was due to modern human migration abilities, technology and sheer numbers.
Still. I side with Neanderthals.
You are brilliant and so lucky to be starting out in this amazing field

What might that hypothesis be?
Dolimyte · 41-45, M
Was it AIDS? I bet it was AIDS.
Nomad · 36-40, F
Not AIDS!😜
