Neanderthals are our closest known extinct relatives, with about 99.5% of DNA in common with humans

If they were able to interbreed with the newcomers from Africa then they were not a different species, they were just another race of human.

I liked the study that said we had 80% of the DNA of a CARROT.

Stupid puter still will not load the article.

At the margins, the lines between "species" are blurry, not sharp (as Darwinian evolution would predict). No one thinks lions and tigers are the same species, or that dogs and wolves are, but there are occasional succcesful matings between lions and tigers and between wolves and dogs.

If that were true, then why is there NO NEANDERTHAL DNA in African Negroes ?
