because i am a NERD
received an article from Dr. Wallace about neandertal DNA and that some were fair-skinned and red-headed. If anyone is interested in reading the article, let me know. I have it in PDF format.
"...in a paper published online in Science this week (www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/1147417), an international team announces that it has extracted a pigmentation gene, mc1r, from the bones of two Neandertals. The researchers conclude that at least some Neandertals had pale skin and red hair, similar to some of the Homo sapiens who today inhabit their European homeland."
I love this stuff. I need to start reading more anth news...and news in general, yeah >_>
