Thread: were "neanderthal" the same as humans?

What you wrote there was bizarre.

Two animals can't be a different species if they can have babies that can procreate.

So, I don't care what some person calls Neanderthals. There's no such thing as "Neanderthals" that's a made up term. They were people, they had babies with other people, and that's the story.

Just because some moron gave them a special name and so on means nothing.
