| hsrob said: First of all Neanderthals, while in the same genus as Homo Sapiens, are a different species so regardless of what happened it's technically not genocide. Secondly saying evolution "encourages" genocide is like saying the force of gravity encourages people to fall and injure themselves. Evolution and gravity are not human inventions, they are discoveries and the theories that describe them, are just that, attempts to describe the means by which these phenomena operate. |
Well, some scientists classify Neanderthals as the same species, just a different sub species. Just as some scientists classify the three major races, caucasian, mongoloid, and negroid as different subspecies of homosapiens.
I seem to recall reading an article that gave the genetic difference between the three main human races is greater then the difference beteen some species.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
