Blame the Neanderthals

03/10/2020 By Desmond Swayne

The frontiers of knowledge are ever expanding. Professor Hugo Zeberg and his team at the Max Plank Institute of Evolutionary Anthropology have discovered the genes that make some individuals particularly susceptible to severe  symptoms if they catch Covid-19.
Furthermore, those unfortunate enough to carry the gene do so because our ancestors acquired them by breeding with the Neanderthals some sixty thousand years ago. So, we can safely blame the Neanderthals because they died out forty thousand years ago.
Of course, a slightly different slant to put on it, would be to blame those over-sexed ancestors of ours for their congress with the Neanderthals.
Which reminds me of my schoolmaster’s advice: “boys, it is a lot safer to take up a musical instrument than either to join the Christian Union or to spend your time daydreaming about sexual exploits”
