Neandertal genome confirms they were human
Ever since the discovery of the first Neandertal remains in 1856, scientists
have debated how to classify these mysterious, quite human-like creatures. Until
recently, many evolutionists were confident that Neandertals were not fully
human and they regarded them as a sub-human species called Homo
neanderthalensis.
However, recent genetic research shows that modern humans and Neandertals
interbred, suggesting that Neandertals and people living today should be
classified as the same species. After sequencing the Neandertal genome, the
world's leading authority on 'ancient' DNA, Svante Paäbo, concluded: "Many would
say that a species is a group of organisms that can produce fertile offspring
with each other and cannot do so with members of other groups. From that
perspective we had shown that Neandertals and modern humans were the same
species." Neandertals were humans, not ape-men, contrary to 150 years of
story-telling. To find out more from Creation Ministries International visit our
