Which scientist do you believe? NOVA ran a series this week on the evolution of man. They said in this show that the entire Neanderthal genome has now been sequenced and that from this evidence there was no interbreeding between modern man and Neanderthals for 200,000 years.

not NOVA....the leftists there on PBS(which we are required to pay for) do not believe that the Neanderthal based European is better than sub Saharan Africans and it is therefore politically incorrect to say so....just as it is politically incorrect to deny anthropomorphic Gore-bull warming....

Which episode of NOVA do you believe? The "Neanderthals on Trial" episode transcript shows Svante Pääbo saying nothing of the kind. In fact, no one appears to say anything of the kind. I did a search for the string "200", and found nothing even close to what you said.

And the earliest broadcast date is 2002, iow, almost ten years ago now.

And just so you know, the entire Neandertal genome STILL hasn't been sequenced.

I mean, really, do you just believe PBS when it tells you something you want to believe anyway?
