It's my understanding that Neanderthin is based on the concept that the
10,000 years since the adoption of agriculture isn't enough time for a human
adaptation to agriculture, when compared to 400,000 or more years of
evolution centered on the hunter-gather lifestyle.

If you go back 400,000 years, or even 200,000, my guess would be that we
humans all are brothers and sisters, genetically speaking, and that fairly
recent distinctions in race, heritage and even bloodtype matter very little.

Let us all join hands . . .
