The Neandertal’s Curse



A Theory



Consider the Middle East; intersection of three continents. It is where Homo Sapiens came up from Africa to spread to  Europe and Asia and beyond; it is also near where civilization first began; it had birthed many religions; and its history  is full of turmoil. Why the last?
My theory is that the Middle East remains troubled by a curse delivered to the land by a Neandertal shaman shortly after H. Sapiens came up from Africa through that route. The Neandertals are gone, some of their genes remain within us; and so, I say, does the curse.
