Im still waiting for someone to actually show me where i said anything racist. youre all just regurgitating politically correct, scientifically wrong rhetoric that youve had pounded into your brains from the time you were learning to read. its an absolute shame that youre so backwards in your beliefs, and so insecure and sensitive about obvious, proven differences that you'd rather just parrot "racism" in stead of objectively looking at the proof. why are you so afraid of facts?

Are you sure that's what's going on here? Are you sure that what's going on here isn't instead that you implied that people of Africa are a different species and then tried to use a technicality of an example (Cromags & Neanderthals can reproduce!) that doesn't actually apply in the context of different modern human races for reasons explained to you (even though Neanderthals & Cromags could theoretically reproduce, they rarely did, and genetic differences were rather large*), which fit well within the default scientific definition of 'species', to defend your claims on 'scientific' grounds which, instead of being based on actual science, are instead supported by your provided link to someone who says gems like "I want my grandchildren to look like my grandparents. I don't want them to look like Anwar Sadat or Fu Manchu or Whoopi Goldberg"** ?

Here we show that the mtDNAs of these individuals fall well within the range of variation of today's humans, but differ sharply from the available sequences of the chronologically closer Neandertals. This discontinuity is difficult to reconcile with the hypothesis that both Neandertals and early anatomically modern humans contributed to the current European gene pool.

These results are at odds with the view whereby Neandertals were genetically related with the anatomically modern ancestors of current Europeans or contributed to the present day human gene pool. Although only six HVRI sequences of ancient [anatomically modern humans] and four sequences of Neandertals are available to date, the sharp differentiation among them represents a problem for any model regarding the transition from archaic to modern humans as a process taking place within a single evolving human lineage.
