All the latest research shows that whites in Europe are a mix of real humans (H. sapiens sapiens) and Neanderthals (H. sapiens neanderthalensis). See for example:

http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/node/814

"In a paper published this week in the U.S. journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of European researchers report a "mosaic of modern human and archaic Neanderthal features" in 30,000 -year-old human fossils from Romania.
...
"This new study helps to settle the controversy. According to the researchers, the populations probably blended together through sexual reproduction. "Extinction through absorption is a common phenomenon," says Trinkaus."

Neanderthals lived in Europe and the Middle East, and unlike true humans their hair had more pheomelanin and less eumelanin, meaning they had red or blond hair (while H. sapiens sapiens had black hair). Similarly, Neanderthals also had the pigment that made their eyes blue.

Why not be open and admit it?

i know i have the strength to pick my self up whenever i fall, but so many people depend on me for emotional support, and i have so many things to worry about.
All i want is not to worry for a while, to be carefree, to laugh, i haven't done that for so long.
I need to chill out, but i really dont know how.

i cant see the people but i stare at them anyway to me they're there and they're real. I talk to them and they answer. I have a girls voice, it could be my own, but i talk to her alot. Sometimes its other people, like interviewers i do have fantasys of being famous and the interviewer will ask me questions about my pretend work and i answer. the interview could go on for about an hour without me realising theres no one there, then i stop it. people say that when the voices start replying your in trouble but i have full blown conversations. I have been in therapy most of my life because of a car accident which left me with depression, insomnia, no self esteem and mild paranoir, i am still in therapy for most of these though ive never mentioned the voices because im afraid of the results. I dont want to be labeled insane, the voices never upset me or tell me to do anything stupid its just general conversation most of the time .In all honesty shall i tell? help please

so here's a dream i had two nights ago:

my sister leaves her apartment and gets in her car, and drives 6 hours to our house (this part is true). but about 30 miles out of her town, she gets in a car crash.

i wake up after that.

it's really starting to scare me since it takes place after the school year (which it just ended for her). i've also had other dreams like this (each a couple times) before it actually comes true. anyone heard about the guy shot in moscow? well i had a dream that my sister's friend was killed, and the guy who was shot knew my sister. so it came true. my parents say it's just deja vu, but i started writing down my dreams and some really do come true.

so my sister is driving home tomorrow from her apartment.
i'm a little scared that something will happen to her like it did in the dream.

should i be worrying?

I always feel guilt if another is afraid of me. Why do some people seem to like making others afraid of them? Or like making another person feel bad? They seem to get off on it and dont care how they make the other person feel or what the other person thinks of them?

I have been doing modeling, was asked to go try out for Playboys Book of Lingerie, they accepted me. They also asked if I would be on Playboy tv// Problem is my Mom is ultra conservative she thinks showing your stomach is racy. She also knows i posed in lingerie and she thinks its disgusting. I know she means well and i know if i pose naked, she will prob find out and disown me, maybe never talk to me again and my family will say im a slut and a disgrace.
I come from a poverty stricken family, i graduated college but still low in money, i think its a chance to improve my life.
What do you think?

Sometimes past is a nightmare that will hunts you forever. It is up to you when you must solve and face it. There are people in this world cannot leave their past. If the person keep sticking on it, does it manifest that you don' t respect yourself?

I have never read a book or taken a class on this subject, but remembering history indians occupied Mexico such as the Aztecs, Myans, Incas, etc, then Spain invaded the region; Would that mean that mexicans are a mixture of the 2 or is it more complicated than that?

Dream: I was on a busy road driving with cars all around when suddenly a white and gold cow apeared right in the middle of the road. It seemed more real than everything around it, very bright and solid. Two men stopped their cars and went to get it off the road. One man was in a car behind me and the other man was in a car just ahead of me. I am wondering if the cow represents me or something else?

A dream I've had twice is about zombies... they're surrounding our home, but they never break in, though they seem hungry and violent. I'm scared of them and pull the blinds down to avoid seeing them... at the end of the dream, they all turn in regular human beings... I have'nt watched any zombies movies lately, so why do you think I've had this dream?

My mother tells me about this dream she has... about Demons that she cannot see, but she knows are around, demons that frighten her... what could this interpret to?
