First the serious stuff:

"A new study conducted by investigators at the University of Arizona, in the United States, demonstrates that modern and “archaic” humans interbred in Africa between 60,000 and 20,000 years ago. The behavior led to the transfer of small amounts of “old” genetic material into modern-day humans."

Cross-Species Interbreeding Discovered via DNA Analysis - Softpedia


second the not as serious stuff:

Why do they call camels the "ships of the desert"?

































Because they're a full of Middle Eastern semen!

I admit, I did not read the entire thread. It was too amusing. But I suggest one looks up the mating practices of ducks.

Contemporary non-African homo sapiens sapiens carry about 4% Neanderthal DNA as a result of humans interbreeding with them after they left Africa.

If any surviving Neanderthals were found alive by some miracle, should intermarriage between them and homo sapiens sapiens be legally permissible?

Yes.

They would also no doubt qualify for minority status.

Whenever I read about Neanderthals I think I physically resemble them more than "modern" man.....thick wide torso, long arms, short legs, big head and thick neck.

They play for the NFL and appear to be breeding with no problems.

I'm thinking of the normative behavior among mantids, in which the female consumes the male like a popsicle, beginning at the head, while they copulate. Or the various beetles that copulate by ramming their sharp little penis through the her exoskeleton and into the abdomen of the hapless female. Or aphids that are fantastically reproductive over multiple without the burden of having sex with a male for each generation. Or the various fishes that switch gender depending on population density.

And for goodness sake, let's not even get into the hermaphroditic worms!

Then there's the Malthus experiment, in which he sealed a room with unlimited food and water for mice (or was it rats?) to breed unconstrained. As the population increased so did infanticide, cannibalism, aggression, homosexuality, etc.

My 3 year old female Australian Shepherd seems to enjoy humping my 1 year old male Keeshond. On rare occasions she also humps my 13 year old female Keeshond.

I know that dog humping is mostly a dominance thing, but I have to say she seems to be getting some sort of enjoyment from the behavior.

I've seen male chimps display some truly overly ambitious sexual behaviors on both males & females on the nature shows. The also appear to be having a great time

If they light a cigarette, it was good. If they light two, it was great!

Probably need to correct your original premise first, while the entire population of contemporary non-African homo sapiens as a whole, carries up to 4% Neanderthal DNA, individual members of the species range from about 1% up to 4% according to National Geo. So some folk have more caveman and some less, might that need to be considered? Or maybe no distinction needs to be considered?

Well if you are determined to decide "marriagability" that based on the percentage of interspecies shared DNA, where might that line be drawn? How different is the DNA of early hominids compared to modern apes?

Because in very short order you're not far from Rick Santorum's bestiality argument! He's scorned, ridiculed, and hated because his defense of one man - one woman marriage was that abandoning that firm principle to equate homosexuals playing house with marriage would logically lead to “man on dog”; because

“The results showed that Neanderthal DNA is 99.7 percent identical to modern human DNA, versus, for example, 98.8 percent for modern humans and chimps, according to the study. “

if Neanderthal with 99.7 % identical DNA are marriageable to Homo sapiens, Chimps are 98.8% identical. Is the argument going to devolve to Man on Neanderthal or Chimp - good vs. Man on man’s best friend - Bad? Homo sapiens share a percentage of DNA with dogs all other mammals and virtually every other living organism!

Cass Sunstein radical liberal darling and Obama’s Regulatory Czar has in the past argued (from Sunsteins wiki page)
“Every reasonable person believes in animal rights,” he says, continuing that "we might conclude that certain practices cannot be defended and should not be allowed to continue, if, in practice, mere regulation will inevitably be insufficient—and if, in practice, mere regulation will ensure that the level of animal suffering will remain very high."

“On page 11 of the introduction, during a philosophical discussion about whether animals should be thought of as owned by humans, Sunstein notes that personhood need not be conferred upon an animal in order to grant it various legal protections against abuse or cruelty, even including legal standing for suit. For example, under current law, if someone saw their neighbor beating a dog, they currently cannot sue for animal cruelty because they do not have legal standing to do so. Sunstein suggests that granting standing to animals, actionable by other parties, could decrease animal cruelty by increasing the likelihood that animal abuse will be punished”

Maybe a reasonable neighbor would bring an action on behalf of someone’s long suffering monkey, that it is an abuse of the suffering monkey’s rights to deny said suffering monkey the opportunity to receive and give sexual gratification to a willing homo sapien partner.

Buy even that probably shouldn't be a problem if a male or female homo sapien desires to marry another specie member of the same gender! Transgendered and various gender dismorphic individuals could present a more confusing circumstance!

A big issue here in Singapore in regards to molestation cases that are finding their way into the court system these days,boils down to
'He said-She said', and who the court chooses to believe.
Its no big secret that S.E. Asia has large populations of poor people due to their economys being 3rd world/emerging.
And men from all over the world travel to destinations like Thailand, Macau,Indonesia etc.. to partake in what is termed "Sex Tour".
Although Singapore has a vibrant economy, there are still areas where prostitution takes place. Some Government controlled..some 'free-lance'.

Many women from N. China, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesis, Malaysia, Phillipines come here with a 2 week visitor pass, and set up shop on the streets in the red light district.
There are also places where male tourists visit to meet women for the purpose of casual sex/favor-for-reward.

Lately there has been an increase in these women 'visitors' calling in the law-claiming they were molested.

Alledged offenders including U.S. service men, travelling businessmen,Joe 6-pack, usually settle their cases out of court for many obvious reasons.

It would seem that mans interpretation/implementaion of Laws,can in some cases distort what actually occured in these cases.

Where do you draw the line between what is an actual Molestation?
Is a molester an 56 yr old man that fondles little boys.
Or is a molester an 56 yr old man who while meeting a young woman at a bar,casually rubs her back and grazes his hand on her deirrierre?

Molestation in the legal sense will have a specific legal definition depending on the jurisdiction. In the US the term is generally used in the legal sense in reference to sexual contact with children or persons under the age on conscent, less aggregious than say statutory rape assuming there is no penetration of any sort. An adult male inappropriately touching a adult female would be likey refered to as unwanted sexual contact depending on the specific nature of the contact (where or what he touched) or simple battery if the contact was more general in nature.

Sure it was son. Just keep telling yourself that. If you believe that I have some fun UFO videos to show you.
