If two creatures can successfully mate they are of the same species. I don't get why it's so difficult to grasp that. If what we define as Human mated with what we define as Neanderthal than the problem is we mistakenly defined Neanderthal as not a human. Obviously they were.

Instead, the genetic analysis shows, modern humans encountered and bred with at least two groups of ancient humans in relatively recent times: the Neanderthals, who lived in Europe and Asia, dying out roughly 30,000 years ago, and a mysterious group known as the Denisovans, who lived in Asia and most likely vanished around the same time And its a good thing they did interbreed. I'm sure it isn't a coincidence that suddenly between 30-40,000 years ago there is an explosion of evidence of symbolic language. We may owe our complex linquistic and symbolic talents on a chance combination of sapiens genes.
