A species is defined by the ability to interbreed. The definition isn't perfect, but you're still wrong.

Please learn basic classification.
Black bears and polar bears are still bears. They just look different. Just like humans. Just because the bear is black in stead of white doesn't mean it's not a bear any more.

Wouldn't that make us different breeds?

Homo Sapiens and Homo Neandertalensis are the taxonomic names.
Same genus, different species.

@ Wrath --
Except black bears and polar bears are different species. All humans in the species Homo sapiens sapiens are more closely genetically related to each other than domesticated chickens are to other domesticated chickens. (Black bears vs. polar bears are one of the favorite "variation within a 'kind'" bullshit topics of the creationists...)

As I've said before, unless it's being used to describe a Mitsubishi Lancer, the term "evo" is utterly meaningless; then again, I don't expect from Supersport very much that's meaningful.

No, racist hillbillies say that. I've never heard of a scientist saying any such thing. I do, however, know that a few hundred years ago Christians used to claim that they weren't Human/didn't have a soul, in part as justification for the slave trade.

Supes here is a moron. Neanderthals had 48 chromosones, humans have 46.

Sigh. Genetically, the neanderthal doesn't share enough DNA with modern humans to be classified as the same species. Asians, blacks, whites, etc. may have different physical characteristics, but genetically, humans are incredibly homogenized, meaning that the differences in DNA between people of seemingly opposite races is 99.999~% the same. People of different races are capable of breeding with one another, which makes all of us the same species. A human and a neanderthal would not be able to produce a viable offspring -- ergo, different species.
And it is perfectly clear that ToE is a racist theory at its core.....scientists have long called black people monkeys. shame.
Oh hello straw man.

Look at a Neanderthal skull compared to a Homo sapien skull. You should be able to understand pictures, right?

@wackadoodle: The belief that evolutionary theory is racist (and consequent openness to and sometimes acceptance of creationism) was quite popular in liberal circles in the post-war years based on the erroneous belief that it caused the Holocaust.
This clip from Jacob Bronowski's classic documentary "The Ascent of Man" debunks that better than I ever could. More recently, creationism has become so intimately associated with the far right that anyone who'd be swayed by the "evolutionary theory is racist" argument wouldn't go near it on principle. It's an irrelevant relic that just serves to show how out of touch with reality creationists actually are.
No scientist has ever called people (black or otherwise) monkeys, merely stated that 25 million years ago there lived an animal whose modern-day descendants include both humans and monkeys. The fact that
Homo sapiens sapiens is one of the most genetically homogeneous of all animal species is a powerful argument against racism.

Um, no, that'd be *racists*.

Recently they found enough Neanderthal dna to know they couldn't interbreed with us. But they wore clothes, made tools and buried their dead with keepsakes.
It's sad. We may have even killed them off
