Hey, last night I watched From Ape to Man on the History channel and other than them taking waaaayyy too much liberty at describing what 'happened' when all they have are THEORIES, they said that the neantherdal man was a DIFFERENT SPECIES than modern humans. They are NOT our descendant as I had always been taught.

How do evolutionists explain this?

I don't know how (unless you have very ugly kids :-)) you could think Neanderthal man was our descendant. Most of us know all our descendants; I have three of them, and none of them are Neanderthal, though my son's a 14 year old high-schooler, and so sometimes acts like a Neanderthal.

We always knew Neanderthals were distant cousins. The question is how distant; genetic evidence seems to be showing the answer is 'more distant than we thought'.

That's interesting re: Neanderthal Man. I remember reading an article a while back that if Neanderthal man were given a haircut and put in street clothes (going by what he probably looked like in life) he wouldn't look much different than any one else. Although he may have had rickets.
I saw a documentary on Hobbits. Yes, they called them hobbits. The reconstruction of the skull sure looked like a person, so hearing "humanlike" grated on my ear.

Well, that's the debate these days, from what I understand. Some scientists believe they're a separate species, others think they are a subspecies of Homo Sapiens.

What's to explain?

I watched about 20 min of it.

The part where the old dude discovered "tool man"...well at least he first discovered a skull and arbitrarily called it his long lost tool man. Then after some time passes the wifey finds another skull...so now this one is the new tool man.

Since the tools and skulls were found "within" the same rock they are all dated the same.

Sorry, but this one sentence reveals that you have no idea what you are saying.

Don't know, but the Bible has these verses on something similar, perhaps....

Genesis 6:4.  The Nephilim were on the earth in those days--and also afterward--when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

 

 Numbers 13:33
  We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them."
