You look at the modern humans that a lot of us have slept with and it is hardly a surprise if a Neanderthal maiden or two might have twinkled by the campfire light.
In Bill Bryson’s book, "The Road to Little Dribbling: More Notes from a Small Island," the author reflects on human history and connections. He suggests that the interactions between modern humans and Neanderthals were likely more common than we realize. This whimsical notion points to the idea that our ancestors might have had romantic entanglements with Neanderthals, leading to a deeper understanding of our evolutionary journey.
By suggesting that Neanderthal maidens may have been part of human experiences, Bryson highlights the shared past of different human species. His remarks encourage readers to contemplate the complexities of human relationships over time, illustrating that the bonds formed in the past may still influence us today, even in unexpected ways.
