One can explain the separate adn competing hominid species of H. Sapien Neanderthalis and H. Sapien Sapien(Cro-Magnon/Modern Humans) quite easily. They each spereately evolved from H. Erectus.

Really? On a scale of one to ten with an ape being one and a human ten, the neanderthal would be about a nine, while home erectus would be about a six or a seven. If we can't be descended from neanderthals because they're too apelike, how are we descended from homo erectus which is even more apelike? Or did you think home erectus was just some gay guy with a hard on???

Please work on your reading comprehension before wowing me with sophistry.
I never said that we could not have been descended from H. Neanderthalis because it was too apelike. Rather the genetic data indicates otherwise. Parallel evolution occurs all the time.

H. Erectus was extinct before modern humans show up. I think you are right. If it is not Neadertal, there is nothing formodern humans to evolve from.
