PinGGG!.................
If Neanderthals and Homo sapiens interbred, what is the justification for treating the Neanderthals as a separate species?
And he’s still voting in Chicago.
So this explains it?
race = breed
but most people never see the obvious.
None, really, unless you are a WAYSIST!..................

So as I see it, Native Americans STOLE the land from these Asians. Time for living Native Americans to make repatriations to the people in Siberia.

So Africans stole Eurasia from Neanderthals. So Africans owe reparations to anyone with Neanderthal DNA, which is pretty much the rest of the world. Offsetting penalties.

If someone bred with a neanderthal 45,000 years ago, then we know that beer was invented before 45,000 years ago.

OK, so the article says Homo Sapiens originated in Africa.
Where did Neanderthals originate? Did they originate somewhere else or are they just a different offshoot of hominids?
One theory is that Neanderthals left Africa first and spread about then the later homo sapiens followed them, eventually overtaking and outnumbering them................
Thanks for that reply. That means The Neanderthals were smarter than the Sapiens to leave lions infested Africa for the Mediterranean area first! hehe..
There may have been drought and famines there. Common in that part of the world, then as now..................
These people come to a conclusion and call it a scientific fact. It is still a conclusion and theory. There are many theories and conclusions. DNA form one bone can not prove much but it causes a jump to a lot of conclusions.
More data please and peer review.
If you read Origin of the Species, that was really Darwin’s first step, casting doubt on the traditional notion of species, so that he could redefine the term to suit his purposes. Without that step, his entire theory collapses in on itself. Most people just breeze right past that section without noticing the ramifications of what he did, though.
Coyotes and wolves can interbreed. Are they different species (yes, according to current taxonomy) or the same species?
