Hi,
I read in a Norwegian publication, (I'm from Norway but live in Liverpool), that you have done research on Neanderthal-people.
I've been wondering for some years, if Neanderthal could have survived in my steph-mother, Haldis Humblen born Brekke, from the West of Norway's family.
Her fathers name was Brekke, and her mothers Onarheim, I think perhaps Onarheim was Neanderthals.
They lived at the island of Tysnes, in the county of Hordaland in Norway, but I read about their genealogy and they could perhaps also be linked to Sogn, in Norway, as a remember it.
My steph-sister, Christell Humblen, has a strange thumb, in which she can move the outher join, almost 180 degrees.
Which her friends told me when we where kids.
Her arms are also like that, I remember, that she can like twist them more, at the joints than normal people/homo sapiens.
She's the half-sister of body-builder Viggo Snoghill/Snowhill, from Norway/Denmark.
And he only had to eat soft-ice, to grow muscle, so I suspect he also is neanderthal.
Christell also has a second brother, Jan Snoghøj, and he's very promiscous, like your research told Neanderthals were.
In Jan's wedding, in the year 2000, in Geilo, in Norway, the bride, (Hege Lund from Gulskogen, Drammen), her brother, said in a speach, (with a low, un-clear voice, but still), that Christell had had sex with 40 or 50 men, or something.
Like your research say, that Neanderthals had more sex-partners, acording to Nettavisen.no today.
Jan also complained about his sister Christell, (one Christmas, I was almost only at their place for Christmas, in the 90's), that she had to much pubic hair, between her legs(!)
(I don't think this is normal in Norway, to say about ones sister, but this family was 'New Age', I think).
Also, Christell is very found of symbols and fashion-cloths.
(At least as I remeber it).
And she looks feminine but likes to drive a car on the ice, like rally-cross etc.
And as a child she was like Pippi Long-stocking, and could take 'push-ups' if Jan hang her, from the ceiling of their house.
Haldis always liked it very warm, in the house, and she thought a clock I bought for them one christmas, (1989), which told the time in English, was like company for her, if my father wasn't there, she later said.
When I was in the army, the study-loan bank, in Norway, sent me a bill, even if I was on conscription-service, so then I visited them.
And then Haldis said I could have Christell, since she wasn't acting fine.
(This was in 1993).
I wasn't even invited to her wedding last year, to a Swedish guy, so I try to get her sent here to Liverpool now, and has told the priest to cancel that wedding.
So maybe you could do some research on Christell, if she get's here to Liverpool, on her fingers etc., to say if she's Neanderthal, I thought?
I'm enclosing pictures of Christell and her relatives.
So you can say if they are Neanderthals or not.
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Yours sincerely,
Erik Ribsskog
PS.
This is Christell:
PS 2.
This is her half-brother, (same mother, Haldis Humblen), Viggo Snowhill, (the famous body-builder who lives in Florida, USA):
PS 3.
This is their brother Jan Snoghøj, (same mother, (Haldis Humblen), as Christell):
PS 4.
This is Jan's oldest daughet Tiril's hair, (who has it's own profile on Facebook):
PS 4.
This is Viggo Snowhill again:
PS 6.
This is Christells cousin, from the West of Norway, (I think her neck is to thin to be Homo Sapiens perhaps):
PS 7.
Christells other cousin:
PS 8.
Another cousin of Christell:
PS 9.
I think Christell needs to find a Neanderthal-man to be happy.
Maybe the University could help her with this?
She has a Swede, (and I admit that that's quite close to Neanderthal, to joke a bit, he's even brain-damaged from an accident where he got the lawn-mover in his garden-company over him, my sister Pia Ribsskog told me, some years ago, if I understood it right).
Christell was also very aggresive when I knew her, when my father met her mother, when we were kids.
She would use her finger-nails, to slash my skin, like a cat, when we were going in to the car etc.
Things like that.
So I joke a bit in this e-mail sometimes, but I'm sincere when I wonder if she is from Neanderthals, with her 'strange' thumbs etc.
Thanks in advance for any help!
