I've been interested in the Neanderthals for a long time and have read several books about them. When I found out that I had 3 percent Neanderthal DNA, I was very pleased because of what I knew about the old ones. There's very little evidence of what the Neanderthals were like because they left no written record and very few artifacts. However, some aspects of their nature and culture can be surmised from their remains. I probably inherited homosexuality and a red beard from them. *
Here's a fun poll to see what Neanderthal characteristics you may have. It's less a poll than a guide to see if you have possible Neanderthal DNA. I left out the most important Neanderthal characteristics, being highly sexual and anal, because everyone here is probably both. This is not a scientific study.

I have non of those characteristics but this is interesting as i see people with them, usually they are tall as well.
I look for people with these traits too. You're probably the Cro-Magnon type, Trei.
Cro-Magnon? I've never heard of that, i'm off to look it up now : )
P.S.: Yes from what little bit i've read i seem to have more in common with the Cro-magnon but more research is in order, my interest is now kinda piqued on this subject now.
Cro-magnon humans coexisted with Neanderthals for a relatively short time and interbred with them so some of us have mixed DNA. Cro-magnon humans are the precursor to modern humans and are different from Neanderthals in many ways. Probably had a different origin in the ape family tree. Most people are descended from Cro-magnon ancestors and don't have Neanderthal DNA. Neanderthals lived more than a hundred thousand years before cro-magnon humans so we probably inherited some of their culture.
I guess there are just a few guys who want to take my survey. I just wanted to get a sense of how many men here have typical Neanderthal traits. Supposedly Neanderthals were extremely sexual, had great regard for their asses, worshipped the moon (full moon club) and other things that I see in the aneros community. Just wondering if there's a correlation. I'm proud of my Neanderthal heritage. There's a high percentage of us hybrids from the middle east where the two types of humans probably first met and where agricultural civilization started. We were the new men back then and you anerosing guys are the new men of today.
Hi @euphemistic,
It is a real shame that one cannot choose more than one choices in your Neanderthal poll.
I chose "intuitive and psychic abilities." I grew up in rural Northwestern Connecticut and during those years was close to nature. Our prehistoric forbears who lived in the wild had to have intuitive and psychic abilities to survive in harsh environments.
Also my Aneros sessions have become intuitive over time. As a result, they have become extremely pleasurable and fun.
But getting back to your poll, if I were a Neanderthal, I would have had red hair and prominent brow ridge, and would have been gay or bisexual. 😉

Thom, I changed it so you can now pick as many traits as you want. I thought I had set it up that way. Thanks for letting me know.
Do you really have red hair?
When I was younger, I did have dirty blond hair, but also a reddish mustache, but it all has turn grayish white in recent years.
Thom.
I had a reddish beard once too. Sadly it's now gray (unless I color it).
Then are you saying you have a prominent brow ridge and are gay/bi?
In response to your question, @euphemistic, yes. But also if I were a Neanderthal, I am sure I would be a medicine man, seer, or priest. 😉
Thom.
