Do you understand that Neanderthal, Denisovan, and Sapiens are three distinct Hominim species?
Just so I'm clear, you state that Homo Sapiens Sapiens WITH Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA should be classified as the same species as Homo Sapiens Sapiens with NO Neanderthal or Denisovan DNA.
Do I understand you correctly?
“Do you understand that Neanderthal, Denisovan, and Sapiens are three distinct Hominim species?”
Yes, and it should be obvious from my post, frankly.
“Just so I’m clear, you state that Homo Sapiens Sapiens WITH Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA should be classified as the same species as Homo Sapiens Sapiens with NO Neanderthal or Denisovan DNA.”
The genetic drift in some populations of current humans from previous, extinct homo species is small and doesn’t change the species classification now, it is a remnant of our past, showing that inter-breeding was possible.
So to answer directly, yes, same species. People with small remnants of DNA from other homo species still belong to our species. You know we share over 98% of our DNA with chimps, still a different species.
