More Evidence Neanderthals were Human

At one time, Neanderthals were portrayed as stupid brutes in our supposed evolutionary history. Evidence over the years prompted Darwinists to realize that they were not so far removed from humans after all. Still, they try to keep some form of evolutionary link going, plus showing racism against Neanderthals. This makes racist Charles Darwin smile.

It should be case closed that humans and Neanderthals were the same species because our ancestors exchanged DNA. (Indeed, some folks may have allergies because of inheriting DNA from Neanderthals.) New research affirms their humanity.

Someone can search for but not find an ape that fashioned jewelry because it had deep personal meaning. Symbolism — which indicates abstract thought, a human trait — is indicated among these "archaic humans." Also, it has been suggested that they are not exactly extinct. They had culture and were intelligent. Biblical creationists can be justified in saying, "See? We told you they were human!"

News stories at Phys.org and IFLS are reporting on a new paper in Science which finds more evidence of human-Neanderthal interbreeding. The Editor’s summary of the technical paper notes, “there is now ample evidence for gene flow from Neanderthals to humans and vice versa.” Under the standard biological definition of a “species,” such evidence of interbreeding would indicate that humans and Neanderthals should in fact be considered members of the same species.
