They call Neanderthal a different species, while at the same time saying that modern humans literally fucked them out of existence.

If we Jurassic-Parked up a few thousand Neanderthal it probably wouldn't even take twenty years before calling them a different species would be a hate crime.

By the same token, if the African problem had been 'solved' three hundred years ago, literally nobody would be calling them Homo Sapiens Sapiens today. The physical differences are too obvious, even in the bones.

Science will always bend to society, so long as society writes the paychecks.
