Man and Neanderthals Totally Had Sex

Everyone has their type. For certain dudes from the Stone Age, this apparently meant a low brow, weak chins and stocky build. That's right: Ancient man was into Neanderthal women.

It sort of makes sense -- in addition to being super-strong they probably had a great sense of humor, as well as the ability to wrestle an animal to the ground and stab it to death. Plus they had really long legs.

Professor and geneticist Svante Paabo is certain that humans had sex with this closely related species and is searching Neanderthal fossils for traces of man's DNA, which stands as proof that we should all be washing our sheets on a much more regular basis.

Professor Paabo wants to use the new draft of the Neanderthal genome to figure out the ancestry of humans, Neanderthals and chimpanzees, and also to figure out whether humans and Neanderthals had fertile offspring or, like horses and donkeys, were just doing it for kicks.
