The similarity of hominids to humans such as it is is not coincidental but has nothing to do with evolution. DNA studies show the neanderthal much too far removed to be an ancestor and all other hominids are morphologically further from us than the neanderthal.
Coyoteman notes that researchers have come up with modern human skulls with slight brow ridges which he assumes implies evolution of modern man, but there isn't time.
You've got the Haldane dilemma on one side which says that would take longer than the 70 million years which supposedly separates us from dinosaurs, and on the other hand you have Gunnar Heinsohn's findings which indicate that previous interpretations of stratigraphy are massively in error and that there is no real way to defend a dieout time for neanderthals of more than about 4000 years ago.
Modern man was either genetically re-engineered from the neanderthal or some other hominid, brought here from elsewhere, or created separately. Those are your three choices.
I have another choice.
You are just plain nuts?
Yeah, I think I'll go for that one.
Sorry, there is a fourth choice, one which the vast majority of paleontologists agree with. Modern humans descended from archaic humans, who in turn descended from earlier Homo species and Australopithecus species.
You seem to feel that because we are not descended from Neanderthal that there is no other close relative from whom we are descended. Perhaps you should examine the scientific evidence a little closer.

Interesting. Are you saying that the hominids (F - K) were (or could have been) evolutionary transitionals from one of the ape species, and it's just the transition from neanderthal to homo sapiens that had to be forced?
