a) USAToday (2/13/2009) - An international team Thursday said it has completed a draft of the genome (or genetic blueprint) of Neanderthals, which shows that our extinct cousins made "very little, if any" contribution to human genes. Team chief Svante Pääbo of Germany's Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig described the work as a 63% complete gene map... Neanderthals occupied Europe from about 800,000 to 30,000 years ago. Scholars have long argued over their extinction, and their relationship to people... The results suggest that the primitive human ancestors of Neanderthals and modern humans separated, to Europe and Africa respectively, about 800,000 years ago and that Neanderthals became genetically distinct from that common ancestor only about 300,000 years ago:
b) According to the ancient writings - the Sumerian ones and the Bible - two types of genesis took place on earth:
- The genesis of the monkey - people, described in the Sumerian writings - Zecharia Sitchin, The Twelfth Planet:
300.000 years ago, the inhabitants of Nibiru rebelled - they worked in the mines on Earth and it appears as if they were prisoners. Enki and Ninhursag (his sister) have decided to create a primitive man using genetic engineering techniques and combining the (female) ape genes with those of Enki, the resulting egg being thus impregnated into the uterus of Ninki, Enki's wife:
- The genesis of the Anunnaki - people, clones of the inhabitans of the planet Eris/Nibiru, described in the Bible. Is much more recent, taking place approximately 8000 years ago.
"Then God (Elohim, the divinity = PLURAL), said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness' ... then the Lord (Yahweh/Anu - A/N) formed the man of dust from the ground (organic and anorganic material of human body- A/N) and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature " (Genesis 1: 26 ; 2: 7):
