Neanderthals: To Screw or Not to Screw?

Ever since anthropologists accepted the Neanderthal as functionally human the controversy continues. By “functionally human” I mean genetically compatible and similar enough in body form and “look” that anyone would conclude that they are human. This specifically leaves out the qualities sometimes associated as human such as religion and art. The question is this: if modern-type humans and Neanderthals mated would they produce reproductively capable offspring? The answer across the range of research is “yes”.
So, did we or didn’t we? Cellular DNA says “yes” in a study and mitochondrial DNA says “no” in a study. I think human nature can answer this question much easier than biochemistry, and here is a scenario to ponder: A band of human hunters attacks a band of Neanderthals, kills the males and older females and takes a few younger females for slaves. The hunters are pumped up and horney. The females are different from the girls back home, but not as ugly as aunt Dolly. Do they screw them or not?
There is an entire branch of psychiatric study involving Zoophilia, the practice of having sex with animals of all kinds. Farm animals, dogs, cats, fish, deer etc. You get the point. If it has an orifice, somebody will use it for sex. There are men and women walking around in Wal-Mart that make the reconstructed Neanderthals pretty by comparison. Uglyphilia is prevalent in the human realm.
Back to the hunters: they have a young female Neanderthal who is better looking than aunt Dolly and the ratty dog they own. What do YOU think these hunters would do? I vote for Neanderphilia. Besides, I know a few people who so obviously carry Neanderthal traits that I don’t need DNA evidence. I bet you know a few too.
