DailyKenn.com — Joe Biden effectively referred to Texans as "Neanderthals" when commenting on a policy change that will move the state beyond the current economic lock down.
"The last thing we need is Neanderthal thinking," he reportedly said.
Biden is likely unaware that "interbreeding with Neanderthals gave humans ability to fight off dangerous diseases."

Modern humans have the ability to fight off infections like flu and hepatitis because of the Neanderthal DNA they inherited from their ancestors, new research has found.
Around 70,000 years ago, humans began migrating out of Africa , but when they arrived in Eurasia they found they were not alone. Neanderthals had been living in the region for hundreds of thousands of years, and their bodies were well-adapted to its harsh climate.

Interbreeding between these ancient human groups has left many modren Europeans and Asians with 2 per cent Neanderthal DNA.
“Modern humans and Neanderthals are so closely related that it really wasn’t much of a genetic barrier for these viruses to jump,” said Professor David Enard, a geneticist at the University of Arizona. “But that closeness also meant that Neanderthals could pass on protections against those viruses to us.”
Research conducted by Professor Enard while he worked under Professor Dmitri Petrov at California's prestigious Stanford University has revealed this protection is part of the reason snippets of Neanderthal DNA have survived thousands of years after the species vanished.
