From a couple of weeks ago, an independent approach -- looking at genetic diversity within living humans rather than mucking around with Neandertal bones -- reached the same conclusion.
Someone even mentioned it on Sadly,No!
Primatology Ed. Confirms:
We were going to abuse a close personal acquaintance who is stocky, barrel-chested & has a fine set of brow ridges ("Two Words: [Redacted] [Redacted]") but there are no pix available that do justice to him as a Neanderthal, so he's off the hook as empirical/photographic proof; we don't need no fancy genomes to know there was cousin sex going on.
