Without invoking miracles, magical gardens, or talking serpents, my genome clearly shows that my GE was a Neanderthal female who mated with a modern human male (my GA) who was a descendent of those who left out of Africa less than 50,000 years ago. The mating of my GA and my GE took place somewhere in the Middle East between 47,000 and 40,200 years ago. I had several GAEs who were modern Human GA and Neanderthal GE. I would appreciate that my friend @AllenWitmerMiller would refrain from disparaging mine (and his) real GAEs in this forum.
As you know, the GAE concept is based on genealogical common ancestry. So if your GAE were Neanderthals, you are either: 1) a very special—indeed alien—human; or 2) defining “GAE” to be something utterly different from anyone else.
I guess it could be both, since in principle there could be strange alien humans who display the kind of deep ignorance that your posts reveal.
If you are curious (LOL) about genealogical common ancestry in humans, you can try actually reading about the GAE (you don’t even understand what the G stands for) or try something like this:

There’s no reason GAE couldn’t be neandertals unless you demand them to have lived 6000 years ago. Otherwise their age is irrelevant. All that’s required is that they’re ancestral to all humans by 2000 years ago; they don’t have to be the most recent common ancestors, just common. And of course there’s no reason to suppose that any of their genetic material has survived.
Not seeing any deep ignorance here.
