Yes, but just keep in mind that we do regard lions and tigers as separate species, even though they can produce offspring. Likewise with horses and donkeys, as another example.

Im not saying neanderthals and humans wherent separate species, it is very likely they where. Im only saying that it is no guarantee that they didnt procreated.

Isnt that exactly what i posted? I posted that the biggest difference between any two humans is less than that between a human and a neanderthal.

Wow - you're right! I read that completely backward. Or rather, I read the "less" as if it were a "more".. Sorry!

You need some room in there somewhere for Homo sapiens idaltu. Those transitionals that don't exist just keep on coming.

All I can tell you is that, while I have kissed many a frog in my day, hoping he would turn into a prince, I would never voluntarily kiss a Neanderthal.

We all know that men aren't as picky as women, but even so, how many men are randy enough to mate with another species? Other than frat boys?

Is that a poll call?

I think those guys were pretty brutish--and we also know they were cannibals. I don't think volunteering would have much to do with it, blue eyes.

So maybe another factor is how fast you can run?

Well I just happen to know someone that never lost his Neanderthal tendencies - now get out there and spear us a deer for dinner or I'll lock you out of the cave! :)

That, or how well you could use a sharpened elk bone. "God made man and woman, Sam Colt made them equal" is just an update.
