A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

If you think about it, Africans are the real "pure blooded" people, because they didn't interbreed with the Neanderthals like Europeans did after migrating out of Africa. (lemmy.world)

Neanderthals originally came from Africa too, they didn't spontaneously generate in Europe. There's no pure blooded people, we are products of the places our ancestors lived based upon evolutionary and social pressures.

Maybe, but studies have shown that Africans don't have any Neanderthal DNA.
