Just another theory.

Different race can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. Different species can’t.

[maro]

I have read some speculation that man and chimp could interbreed.

[brytlea]

Well, if they can interbreed (and produce offspring) I guarantee some guy would have already done it and there would be half human/half chimps running around.

Seems like from what I learned the Neanderthals were more pack-like and didn’t spend much time in dead philosophical thought. They didn’t even care for their dead from what I remember.

On the contrary ... I remember reading something about findings indicating that Neandertals had elaborate burial procedures that indicated reverence.

And they always depict them as dark of hair and eyes. If they were living in cold overcast climates, I think they'd have had blue eyes, white skin, and whitish yellow hair. Most of the hairiest guys I know are blonds -- thick whitish-blond hair on their arms, you can practically braid it! God knows you can probably braid the eyebrows of some, literally. But because it's white and turns kind of whitish gold in the sun, it doesn't look like that neandertal.

Yeah. Ben Stein says so, so it must be true!

What cracks me up about Mr B is that he is SO MUCH the definition of his tagline!

[Amendment10]

A new, simplified family tree of humanity, published on Sunday, has dealt a blow to those who contend that the enigmatic hominids known as Neanderthals intermingled with our forebears.

The reason for controversies like this is that macroevolution ideas are no more a scientifically verified science than creationism is.

[MrB]

Yeah, because teaching atheism in schools is so “reasonable” and does so much for the good of society. Just look how much better society is since they kicked Judeo-Christian moral teachings out of the schools... oops.

So is this guy Valuev a Homo or not?
