No, only I small percentage of us have (a small procent) neanderthals in our DNA.

Evidence today suggests that our derivation from Neanderthal is incorrect, and that they were a species on its own which evolved in parallel with Sapiens - they're not a link in the chain as erroneously we had believed for approximately a century.

Caturday, somehow I must have missed all this uproar here. But no, I don't practice 'hate speech' as KK or Echo would have you believe. I view homosexuality and transexuality as a genetic and biological issue, rather than a political one. To me, all people are equal before our Creator and the law. I also sympathize with their plight, but constantly beating any drum loudly and continuously gets to be irritating with the overwhelming majority. It is as though some are determined to shove something down everyone's throats, come hell or high water. And that is self-defeating in the long run. All I did was express my criticism about the constant drumbeat of something that the overwhelming majority of BP followers really don't wish to have thrust upon them from a political standpoint. And no, I don't have an agenda, am not "old racist Grandpa", or harbor ill on those who are not like me. Sorry.

White people are the real people of colour if you think about it. Who has all the hair and eye colours? Who can even have changes of skin colour based on mood? Who has freckles? White people have. The other races come in shades of brown, no other colours.

KK, by your own admission you are stalking this person. Just because they have a different opinion than you doesn't make it okay. You are a creep and potentially a criminal. Plus, don't you have better things to do with your time?

KK: you sound like Big Brother in action. Chill!

It's funny you say this. I noticed this about John as well. He does post great comments sometimes, and others are like a different uneducated person. I have decided to label him as my old racist Grandpa. I enjoy the good stories and ignore the times he uses the N word. I would suggest you do the same. There is no reason to track anyone's movements. We all have our thoughts and options. I read, I learn, I ignore. Very simple.

I didn't know that! Has John been posting these links on certain threads on BoredPanda?

Black Dahlia I am on a public site and I am paying attention to what people post. This is no crime. Screenshotting a comment is no crime. I am also not the only one pointing out John's comments, other pandas do that too.

@It's Caturday Yeah, Bored Panda had a couple of weeks where five or six LGTB related articles had been featured on the site ~ a cute Pixar-style animation about two boys falling in love, a series of photos about a transgender woman raising kids, a series of photos of transgender ppl before and after transition (that has been taken down due to copyright reasons)... John commented especially negativle on the transgender issues, posting a link to a websites that paints transition in a very biased negative light + wants to deny medical help. He also said that he has science behind him because he worked in some medical field in the 70s (*cough* 50 years ago). He also commented on a photodocumentary about a chinese nightclub and claimed that sexual freedom and openness towards alternative lifestyles breaks down society.

@Echo Good input, thank you :). I hope I can be as relaxed as you in the future. A year ago I would've leaned back and chuckled about all of this, too. But with current political events I see so much tension and fear in my community. I feel that the hate against minority groups is at a peak height. Even former safe havens like this cute little site don't seem to be safe anymore. Of course I know that John is only one guy. But he is well-liked and educated, his opinion weights far different than Cat Person's undiplomatic comment down there. These call-out posts happen regularly not just by me. I think it's good to remind people to stay critical. Especially when John posts a spot-on good scientific comment here but lateron plays up to be an expert on how messing with chromosomes (????) make transgender people suicidal.

Every. Time. Republicans and other homophobes talk about things being shoved down their throats every damn time the issue cums up. I mean "comes".

I am not here to discuss by the way, it is your duty to inform yourself outside of that conspiracy-mongering forum you hang out in. I am here to warn other users to review your posts critically.

Go f**k yourself "KK". Everyone is allowed to have an opinion. You are actually in the wrong here. You're getting all aggressive and "observing" people like some kind of cop? Umm no you aren't anything

Also, I don't care if gay people live their lives and get married but I hate all their stupid flags and opinions and stories and media being shoved down my throat. They think they are raising awareness? They've already got their rights! All it's doing now is pissing people off! But transgender a whole different story. It's scum. It's f*****g disgusting. And it is DEFINITELY a mental illness!

Replying to the comment below by Horizon Star - sorry, Korean has been around for a long time. Like Vietnamese, they did use Chinese characters for a long time, but designed their own alphabet in the 1500s or so. You're confusing script with language. They are not the same thing.

this is article is just about Indo European language . Korean , Japanese, south Indian languages doesnt come under Indo European language tree

arabic/hebrew? altaic/turkish thank you regardless

Japanese may be related tip Finnish. Fins find Japanese easy tyo learn due to grammatical similarities, and Finland is not so distant, looking down on the North Pole. https://elab.lab.fi/en/completing-studies/language-studies/japanese

Some South Indian are missing too. I guess it is the same reason.

so the western guys dont know anything about east asia.Japanese charcters all come from china, you guys should read same book about the relationship between Tang dinasty and old japan, know what is "遣唐使"(students and Buddhist went to china to learn chinese culture ).also about Korean before "训民正音"（the language that today korean speak）king and other nobilities speaked and written chinese only.

No, they are from Chinese. Korean only exist a couple hundred years, before that, they used Chinese as their language.

They aren't Indo-European, that's why they weren't included.

" BTW: Uralic languages aren't Indo-European either, but they are represented in the graphic." Maybe because we also can be find in Europe... I'm Hungarian.

It's good to see here is a real linguist. Well-done Deniz

Still it's not "Swiss language". I tried doing a quick search too, and all I got was explanations on why there is no such thing. Either this picture is misleading, or I should dig deeper. Interesting topic none the less.

Possibly, but a language is not defined by the characters used to write it. If Croatian, Serbian and Bosnian were written in Japanese characters they would probably look all identical and still stay Croatian, Serbian and Bosnian as the one and the same.
