  1. Yes. Diseases carried by Europeans, did have a devastating effect on native Americans, Australian Aboriginies, and others. These were diseases that entered human populations, by our close association with live stock (poultry, cattle, sheep, goats... etc.). During the period of our first contact with Neanderthals however, this type of animal husbandry had not yet developed. It is therefore doubtful, that Neanderthal demography, was radically altered by the action of diseases introduce by Cromagnons.

  3. The genetic sequences that bring about the combination of pale skin and red hair, seem to be present in all Neanderthal DNA, that we have extracted. It now looks as though, Neanderthals were source of these traits, in other human populations.
