Hugh Ross writes:
"The computer results, combined with earlier findings about
the Neanderthal infant, affirm that Neanderthals were
sufficiently different from modern humans to be considered a
separate species with no direct genetic link. Given the long-
term stability of DNA and Y chromosomes and the relatively recent
date for some Neanderthal fossils (about 100,000 years old), the
possibility of modern humans' descent from Neanderthals has been
ruled out.
"From a biblical standpoint, I see Neanderthals as one of
the nephesh, soulish (not spiritual) creatures God made before he
made humans. In other words, the Neanderthals must ahve been a
bipedal mammalian species created a few tens of thousands of
years before Adam and Eve. Neanderthals became extinct, possibly
as the rusult of some climactic upheaval, at least several
thousand years before the creation of Adam and Eve."~Hugh Ross,
