Neanderthal DNA Makes Up About 20% of the Modern Human

I have read this article

honestthinking.org/en/pub/Fjordman.2010.06.08.Neanderthals_and_high_IQ.htm

Human numbers had already been on the increase since the advent of behavioral modernity, partly as the result of migration into the far northern regions of Asia, over the sea into Australia, and across a land bridge into the Americas – all places that archaic humans had been unable to settle – and partly because of improvements in food production technology (such as nets and bows). An educated guess puts the total population of the world 100,000 years ago at half a million, counting both anatomically modern humans in Africa and archaic humans (Neanderthals and evolved erectus) in Eurasia. By the end of the Ice Age some 12,000 years ago, there may have been as many as 6 million modern humans – still hunter-gatherers, but far more sophisticated and effective hunter-gatherers than ever before. Farming, which produces 10 to 100 times more calories per acre than foraging, carried this trend further. Over the period from 10,000 BC to AD 1, the world population increased approximately a hundredfold (estimates range from 40 to 170 times). That growth in itself transformed society – sometimes, quantity has a quality all its own.

That is a very interesting article, except for one omission:the distinction between General Intelligence (which can be measured -- hence IQ) and Creative or Genial Intelligence, which cannot be measured or exhibited on demand. Historical Tribes or Peoples are distinguishable by the material and intellectual cultures they create in the world, for themselves:  agriculture, architecture, poetry, visual and auditory arts, philosophy, science, medicine, power tools  and vehicles, etc.  Humans come in races: somatic and cerebral races. The future of Man depends on the genial intelligence of some men, not on their IQ.

Welcome! Glad to have you with us.

I'm all sad now if I have this 20% . How to know? Hmm
