@drumpfdon760 No, although there was some interbreeding, Neanderthals only contributes about 1-4% to the DNA of modern humans throughout Eurasia, including East Asians, and possibly confers some strengths such a resistance to certain diseases, as well as the cause of some diseases. There was also a closely related sub-species called Denisovan found in Siberia and Tibet, who were related to Neanderthals. Some of their DNA ended up in the aboriginal people of Australia, Oceania, Polynesia, etc. but not mainland east Asia. So, DUMPF Don, unless you are an African, you can take pride in the knowledge that you are likely about 3% archaic hominid. We are all the same.

@drumpfdon760 No, this is wrong, the One Child Policy has had barely any effect on the population of China. I have told you before, yet you continue to repeat this rubbish, like some stupid brainwashed kid - Ha - Ha. Serious studies have shown that birthrates in China would be very nearly the same without the One Child Policy as with it, owing to improved education (especially for girls) greater prosperity, and better healthcare. Other countries provide the benchmark.

@drumpfdon760 The Shanxi study ran since the start of the One Child Policy so that the authorities could measure its effect. They found that it had very little effect in the long term on total population, but did improve the demographic balance in society. Presumably the authorities kept quiet about it because they did not want to loose face, and is why 100% brainwashed Chinese trolls, DUMPF Don, don't know about it - Ha - Ha. Moreover, as is well-known, Chinese census data and publicly-available official statistics show that the birthrate still continues to fall in line with other countries, even though the policy has been relaxed.

@drumpfdon760 Incorrect: the Neanderthals died out over 40k years ago. They also lived in parts of Asia.

@drumpfdon760 Incorrect: some serious research has been published on the effectiveness of the CCP's One Child Policy, and found that it made nearly no difference to the population of China now. The dominant reasons for the reduction in birth rate is education (especially for girls) improved healthcare, and rising prosperity. Other countries provide the benchmark. It is really a tragedy that such a misguided policy, caused so much pain and anguish, yet had barely any effect at all. Moreover, now that it has effectively been abolished, the birth rate continues to fall. IIRC, the late, great Hans Rosling was one of the people associated with this research, in case you are interested.

@inotaishu1 Yes; however, the On Child Policy has exacerbated the situation, because if you are only allowed one child, then it needs to be a boy to continue the male family name.

@inotaishu1 Your point demonstrates perfectly the bizarre madness of the selfish society constructed by the CCP. You may be amazed to know that there is even a name for it: They call these policies 'one cut'.

@inotaishu1 Yes, this is broadly correct. I did not write anywhere that the CCP started it; only that the One Child Policy exacerbated it, with all sorts of unwanted side-effects, as we have already discussed.

@canicetang8837 Killing girls is absolutely not okay; nowhere have I written or implied that. Unfortunately, many still cling to some stupid old habits, and as if this were not bad enough, it is plain to see that the CCP made this even worse with their foolish One Child Policy, with all its terrible consequences that we have witnessed. I know the history very well.

@drumpfdon760 Sorry, if I include a link in my comment, it is automatically rejected by YouTube, so you will have to search for the information yourself, but is plentiful and easy to find. The widely touted figure of saving 400m births is now believed to be wrong. For example, you will find Thailand and South Korea cited as two of the benchmarks: they never had a One Child Policy, yet their birthrates are nearly the same as in China (see previous comments for the reasons). The Chinese authorities also did a long-term experiment in Shanxi, where the policy was suspended, yet no increase in birthrate was observed. There is plenty more if you care to look. This terrible policy caused so much pain and anguish, and the CCP clung to it for so long, yet in the end it proved utterly pointless, and completely ineffective.

@canicetang8837 Yes, it seems that all the CCP's actions only make things worse. They are, in fact, their own worst enemy.
