RE:"Were the three homos like three different bears.....grizzlies, polar and black bears or was their relationship more distant?" Similar but perhaps more closely related. One definition of a species is the ability to breed and create viable-reproductable offspring. If Neandertal genes exist today it would suggest at least Cro-Magnon and Neandertal were close enough to be capable of that.

tejek, re:Were the three homos like three different bears.....grizzlies, polar and black bears or was their relationship more distant? There was a show on the History channel last week "Ape to man" which covered the various Homo branches and claimed if you went back about 3 million years you could find a common ancestor. It also spent a lot of time discussing fraud in the search for the missing link via the Piltdown man. talkorigins.org If you can find the show - it's pretty interesting.
