Why would having the same bloodline hinder population growth? I have not heard this before.
I base this on common knowledge about marrying close relatives and what that can do to our offspring.

I agree that close interbreeding can enhance certain genetic defects, some dealing with intelligence, but I was not aware of any effect on the ability to produce offspring.

I read up about what causes infertility. The man on the street says incest can cause that (plus deformities). I will keep researching until I get a scientific answer.

Infertility is the only thing I would be happy to see reproduced.

The genetic content from Neanderthal is thought to be from interbreeding, not descending from.
Does this suggest that Neanderthals were more attractive than we have hitherto thought of them as being?
In some programs it has been suggested that if you dress a Neanderthal in modern clothes you would not be able to pick him out in a crowd. Given the variability in appearance of modern humans, Neanderthals bore a very close resemblance to some modern homo sapiens.

Wow! "the man on the street", now who can argue with that really reliable source of information?
