Questionable Anthropology

Scientists say we have neanderthal genes,
and that set me to wondering 
what all this interbreeding really means -
was it the result of rape and plundering?

The homosapiens made rocks into tools  
and were smarter than neanderthals by half,
but neanderthals were willing to play the fools,
and she said, "he makes me laugh".
