The finding by the team provides strong evidence that humans and Neanderthals continued breeding in Europe, long after their initial co-mingling in the Middle East (after humans began migrating out of Africa.)

Neanderthals were not non-human; they were another branch of humanity. God's children.

Yup, there is more variations in dog skeletons and if you compare skeletons of a bulldog to a greyhound you would swear they were different species, but they can interbreed.
