Why do you think my view requires them to be anything else? Must they be
vicious enemies?
You have not really understood my view. The flood was long prior to
Neanderthal and anatomically modern humans living in the same neighborhood.
What happened to the Neanderthal? They went extinct. This is no different
than the Man Dan Indian tribe going extinct last century, or the Norse
Greenland colony all dying off.
Howeever, I do believe there was some interbreeding, but not a lot. I think
each group thought the other too ugly to marry.
