DNA Study Points to Prehistoric Hanky Panky With Neanderthals

[Disir]

Ancient Eurasia saw more than a little prehistoric hanky panky, a new study shows. It finds the ancestors of modern humans interbred with Neanderthals and another type of prehuman not just once, but several times.

And that explains everything.

You probably are referring to the Denisovans a sister species to the Neanderthals. Both were tall, one skeletal remain measured 7' and being that the Hebrews were under 5' it's probably where the accts of Giants and not mixing with the other species comes from.
It's said that a portion of our culture carries a percentage of the Denisovans genes and coincidentally they were the tribes still involved in canibalism and living secluded and archaic lives, slower to evolve and others made up our more violent cultures.
Once again proving that advice and warnings from the end of the time line which already knows the outcome is valuable info for those in the beginning all the way to that "time to come" when you collectively slap your foreheads and say "duh!"

Uncle Ferd been wonderin'...

"Did dey interbreed with the Hobbits...

... is dat why dey's pygmys in Africa...

... or is it vicey-versy""

Pygmies are a branch of Homo Sapiens.
Theories to their small stature are that:
Some studies suggest that it could be related to adaptation to low ultraviolet light levels in rainforests.
This might mean that relatively little vitamin D can be made in human skin, thereby limiting calcium uptake from the diet for bone growth and maintenance, and leading to the evolution of the small skeletal size.

Other evidence points towards unusually low levels of expression of the genes encoding the growth hormone receptor and growth hormone compared to the related tribal groups, associated with low serum levels of
insulin-like growth factor-1 and short stature.

New evidence suggests East and West African Pygmy children have different growth patterns. The difference between the two groups may indicate the Pygmies’ short stature did not start with their common ancestor, but instead evolved independently in adapting to similar environments, which adds support that some sets of genes related to height were advantageous in Eastern Pygmy populations, but not in Western Pygmy populations.
