>new species of human

If it's a new *species*, then it is not HUMAN.

You have to understand these people really don't know what in heck they're talking about. They find a cave full of crushed monkey skulls and a few dead intact humans, so they report finding a new species by mixing the monkey and human bones.. In the orient - nonetheless - where monkey brains are part of the menu. Lucy, Neanderthal man, etc, one lie after another.
Neanderthal man was found in Neander and was actually a normal human with arthritis in the spine. Scientists are nothing more than good liars selling a religious belief when it comes to this stuff. It's amazing. They should all be in jail for fraud.

It's fair in that context to take "human" broadly. Neanderthal was supposedly a different species of human as well. The key element of the term "human", I suppose, being bipedism, or perhaps evidence of a culture.

Anyone who belongs to the genus Homo should be considered "human," not just those who belong to our species, Homo sapiens. The other criterion is the capacity to make mistakes ("to err is human").
