They would have interbred if beer had been invented back then...

Actually the movie, "The Thirteenth Warrior" was based on a novel by Michael Creighton named "Eaters of the Dead". He wrote it to prove to an English Professor friend that the original story of Beowulf could be made to be exciting and readable. That's right, "The Thirteenth Warrior" is a re-write of Beowulf.

What always amazed me was, who didn't think Beowulf was exciting and readable?

Sadly, countless college freshmen over the generations.

"This does not augure well for the evolution theory. We keep seeing new species appearing seemingly out of nowhere instead of one specie evolving into another..."

No, both appear to have a common ancestor.

They were different branches on the same tree.

LOL. My fault for reading it in middle school.

A good study that shows there was some overlap between Sapiens and Neanderthals. Careful enough to say it is proved.

That is all it says. The mitochodrial studies say there was no interbreeding that produced a viable lineage.

Neanderthal man was Homo Sapien

[Oztrich Boy]

Neanderthal man was Homo Sapien

Actually that's the point in the air.

If it turns out that Neanderthal and modern man shared the same ecological range with no interbreeding, then Homo Sapiens neanderthalis is really Homo Neanderthalis

Modern humans, Neanderthals shared earth for 1,000 years

Then the Neanderthals formed the Democratic party.

What About the Neandertal DNA?

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

This does not augure well for the evolution theory. We keep seeing new species appearing seemingly out of nowhere instead of one specie evolving into another...

On the contrary, science can see a path between each kevek if hominid evolution. You just didn't look into it.

But then again, what does creating multiple hominid species, some roaming the earth at the same time, all with varying levels of intelligence and capabilities, with all but one doomed to die out say about intelligent design? Why not get it right the first time? Why design failure after failure? Maybe you should change the name to "Damn, Let Me Try That Again" Design?

[Non-Sequitur]

Wasn't it the 11th warrior?

You're thinking of the Readers Digest Condensed version.

[shuckmaster]

Neandertals are one such branch of Noah’s descendants.

Please show us a verse in Genesis that backs up that fabrication.

That's a good article. I enjoy how Creation publications mimic the language and patterns of a scientific journal without actually being scientific or doing research. The language lends credibility to an incredible conjecture. Sometimes they get the it wrong though.

...this, rather than primitivity, explains the stooped stupid-looking posture that most people are familiar with.

Is stupid-looking the scientific assessment of Neandertal posture? I'm sure it's just a temporary problem though. With all the time creationist thought leaders save by not doing so much thought, they can devote more time to improving their skills in the fine art of mimicry.

Not true. See the following Phylogenic tree:

BTW, you can click on the tree for more detailed information.

That will soon be added to The List-O-Links. You've done well since your promotion out of the janitorial pool. Darwin Central is pleased.

On behalf of the Grand Master, I am,

Whooohooo! :-)

Here is the start of that site.

Right. We already have one link to the Smithsonian's website (the one just before the last in what follows), and I had thought it was enough. But the part you mentioned was worth a link of its own. The relevant section of The List-O-Links now looks like this:
