I assume that since all known humans can interbreed that they would be considered the same species, right? Still, I'm fascinated with the Aborigines and Neanderthals. I really think the Neanderthals have been shortchanged. I wish I knew more about them.

Europeans proved this beginning about 1492, in a large-scale experiment.

I am too. I have read a bit about both groups but still would love to know more. I think the DNA testing is our best source of data. Bones told us a lot, but the things now being done with DNA are making old bones obsolete (was that a redundancy?).

Mixed race fertility rates are not uniform. Feel free to look it up before you post next time.
