DNA differences are noted in skin and hair, skull shape, rib cage (barrel shaped, neanderthal), metabolic function (nead. cold adapted), cognitive development. may have been some low level breeding as human migrated out-of-africa to europe and asia. distinct species interbreeding has been noted, for instance dolphins and pygmy killer whales resulting in wolphin offspring who are themselves fertile. interbreeding <> evolution.(April 23, 2014 at 1:15 am)snowtracks Wrote: darwin did the best he could using morphological features to outline the ascent of man. however, dna has now shown that the neanderthal man is not genetically related to human beings.

so on those evolutionary ascent of man images, put a big X over the neanderthal.
Wrong yet again, Snowy.
