Neanderthal DNA is generally described as about halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee; we could no more interbreed with neanderthals than we could with horses.

That explained the curious lack of any real evidence of crossbreeding which had previously been a big mystery and it totally breaks any sort of a theory of modern man evolving from hominids; all OTHER hominids were significantly more remote from us THAN the neanderthal. This new missing link of the week item appears to be based on one or two finger bones.

The theory of evolution is a bunch of bullshit. Neanderthals and other hominids were very advanced, extinct apes. Being an ape doesn't imply stupidity or ignorance; several of the gorillas which have been taught deaf signs check out as having IQs in the 100 - 105 range, which is adequate for half of American jobs. Being an ape however DOES imply that you are not related to humans other than via similar design parameters.

Don’t forget that Neanderthals have shown an advanced capability to sell auto insurance.

Alas wendy1946, your theory breaks down when you realize that the natives of New Guinea and White Folks both exist!

They have some Neanderthal genes.

Now, did we evolve or did the evil Doctor Yakub "breed us"?

No, Neanderthals are not halfway between us and chimps. In fact, the chimps are probably not even closely related.

No offense, wendy1946, but that is a terrible distortion of the current consensus among physical anthropologists.

Neanderthals have been classified as Homo sapiens neanderthalensis (i.e., they were a subspecies) or as Homo neanderthalensis (i.e., they were a distinct species of Man - the genus Homo).

Regards,

Everything you post on evolution threads is out right falsehoods that have been abandoned by most leading young earth creationists.

Try to catch up with the current world view of your religious brethren before spouting off on FR.

Thanks and Merry Xmas,
