Neanderthal
It was at the end of year staff conference and I was having one of those random conversations with a colleague of mine. I'm not sure how we ended up on this particular topic, but we were discussing the extinction of Neanderthals and the various proposed theories of how and why it happened. Having watched some third rate documentary on Channel 5 the night before I was suddenly something of an authority:

"One theory" says I "proposes that Homo sapiens and Neanderthals interbred and that red hair is actually a gene that was passed on to us from Neanderthals. So if you see anyone with red hair it means they are part Neanderthal."

Cue scary looking hirsute ginger bloke, who looks like a cross between Giant Haystacks and Groundskeeper Willy, turning round and glaring at us.

"Oh Thanks!" He says.

"Er obviously, it is only a theory..." I say trying to dig myself out of a hole

Fortunately, he was actually quite good humoured about it. He had studied Archeology at University and had come to his own conclusions that the amount of fossil evidence on human evolution was fairly minimal, and that most theories, were (in his words) "bollocks".

Only people who are black African
with black African ancestors all the way back is purely Homo Sapien.
Everyone else is a mix of Homo Sapien and Neanderthal.

Yeah, but he would say that, being neanderthal and all, wouldn't he?
