Can I bang my head a few times?Humans may not have survived without Neanderthals
"Perhaps getting Neanderthal DNA was part of the success because it gave us better adaptive capabilities outside of Africa," said Prof Stringer. "We had evolved in Africa, whereas the Neanderthals had evolved outside of Africa."
"By interbreeding with the Neanderthals we got a quick fix to our immune systems."
We could also say that by interbreeding with Homo sapiens we were all better able to survive the environmental challenges of the time.

The announcement follows a policy framework released by the House Paid Family Leave Working Group in January. Earlier this year, the group faced an uphill battle with the House GOP majority regarding funding. While Republicans tend to propose tax-based benefits, Democrats tend to lean toward direct government assistance.
The press release issued Tuesday said that the drafts do two things: They focus on incentives for states to create their own paid family leave programs, and they create a body and process to allow states to make benefits and practices that support workers and businesses.
