We are not the only ones ?

But it's estimated that we shared up to 95-99/cent of our genes with them, and their 'dying out' has still not been conclusively proved.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal See the bit on Interbreeding Hypotheses. Don't know what it's like where you live, but here you'll find no end of 'neanderthals' roaming the street of a weekend. I thought alcohol 'turned back the clock', as it were.
I'm all for hybrid vigour..

You share something like 45% of your fucking genes with a goddamn mushroom. Your statement is painfully unaware that unless the similarities is 99.999% or so, it simply doesn't work.

mtDNA has shown that humans rarely to never interbred with the developed buggers. Read the fucking paper:
