I thought this was already established?

Ah, it all makes sense now. Homo Sapiens became the conservatives, while the Neanderthals = the liberals.

I’m confused; I thought that they were long known as a separate species: Homo Neanderthalensis. A separate species of the Homo genus. No?

I don’t think the Neanderthals are extinct. From what I have seen their gene pool is still alive.

I thought one of the definitions of a separate species was that two different parent species could not produce fertile offspring.

How could they co-mingle the 2 species?

On the other hand, the Neanderthals are declared "chronological variants inside a single biological heritage," in other words, evolutionary cousins but still a separate species from us.

Ahem. Given the standard model of evolution, would it be safe to say that algae and humans are chronological variants inside a single biological heritage?

That wax figure of Neanderthal looks rather pensive. 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.

If you are a biologist working on a Phd, a sure fire thesis is to split out a new species.

I’m a lumper at heart

Ok, this explains the origins of James Carville, but where did Dennis Kucinich come from.

The Neanderthal model looks a lot like Islamist “rag boy” with a smile. IMHO

"Some opinions aver that the Neanderthals were slowly wiped out by the smarter H. sapiens..."

Perhaps, but not completely. Neanderthals are alive and well at the New York Times, the Washington Post, and The Guardian.

Interesting, however there is some doubt about the idea that no Neanderthal genes made their way into modern humans. The evidence:
