:::You may be correct about the evidence, but it's really an argument from silence, with so little evidence to go on. Yes, there are quite a few Neanderthal fossils, but you can only tell so much from skeletal remains and there is little DNA evidence and no other evidence that's useful for determining such things. In other words, there's also not much evidence that they were ''not'' fully human.

::::The suggestion that they were human seems extremely controversial indeed. Whilst there is some evidence the two could interbreed, they no more make them the same species as a donkey and a horse. I would suggest the suggestions about comparable size can also be compered to whether donkeys and horses would be considered the same species.[[User:Stevendavy|Stevendavy]] 13:30, 06 September 2007 (EDT)
:There is an issue about the YEC diet claim, If we are to follow the YEC timeline then Humans lived in the same areas as Neanderthals at the same time so we would show a difference among all of the remains instead of a particular group. If it was based on diet and not genetics than how is what I posted above with mtDNA found in Neanderthal remains explained? Their physiology is much different than a human, not something that could come from diet (You do not get eyebrow ridges, or extra length of ribs from diet)--[[User:Tims|TimS]] 11:17, 15 May 2007 (EDT)
