Ok
Are you sitting down little Jack.
It is believed that Homo neanderthalensis interbred with Homo sapiens. This throws into doubt the idea that they are separate species.
Given Homon neanderthalensis inhabited Europe and seemed to retreat to the region around Spain during the last Ice Age it is not surprising that this is the case.
They have been able to use Polymerase Chain Reaction to amplify trace DNA samples from Neanderthal remains. They have discovered a homology with sequences in Homo sapiens.
Scientific fact.
Which means even 60 000 years ago our forebears were more accepting of individuals from difference races than you are today.
