Why are whites still considered modern humans, since it’s a scientific fact that they are a mixed breed?
All the latest research shows that whites in Europe are a mix of real humans (H. sapiens sapiens) and Neanderthals (H. sapiens neanderthalensis). See for example:
http://www.cosmosmagazine.com/node/814
“In a paper published this week in the U.S. journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, a team of European researchers report a “mosaic of modern human and archaic Neanderthal features” in 30,000 -year-old human fossils from Romania.
…
“This new study helps to settle the controversy. According to the researchers, the populations probably blended together through sexual reproduction. “Extinction through absorption is a common phenomenon,” says Trinkaus.”
Neanderthals lived in Europe and the Middle East, and unlike true humans their hair had more pheomelanin and less eumelanin, meaning they had red or blond hair (while H. sapiens sapiens had black hair). Similarly, Neanderthals also had the pigment that made their eyes blue.
Why not be open and admit it?
You’ve got your basic apples -to -oranges problem here. Homo sapiens sapiens is a SPECIES. “White” (Caucasian) is a RACE. Which is to say that the white race is one common appearance of a species which also includes OTHER races (negroid, mongoloid, etc.).
Butr let’s have a look at what you’re talking about, because it portrays a very real -and continuing, unresolved- debate about the originis of sapiens sapiens. At the extreme ends of the debate, one theory holds that “modern” human populations evolved from local populations of Homo erectus and intermediate “archaic” forms -maybe Neanderthals. The other advances the idea that a small, relatively isolated population of early humans evolved into modern Homo sapiens, and then spread out globally, eventually replacing all other early human populations as they went their merry way.
Each side has data to support its position, but neither, at this point, can be conclusively held up as the last word. But regardless of which side you take, the concept of mixing -through sexual contact and subsequent reproduction- is likely to occur in both if for no other reason than humans -of whatever stage- are now and evidently have always been, about “mixing,” and “blending together” -as your citation says.
And so, “admitting” to the presence of traits from our forebearers, be they Neanderthal, Erectus, or whatever, is no more profound than admitting to our genetic match to gorillas, or for that matter, to simple bacteria. The simple (and really quite profound, in my opinion) truth is that among all forms of life -meaning everything there is- the incredibly vast OBSERVED differences (wings, feet, internal or external skeleton, size, intelligence …etc.) is attributed to the tiniest differences in the genetic codes that control it all. A change of just one half of one percent is the differnce between e. coli and Abe Lincoln, literally. This would be like changing just a single drop in a swimming pool of water to make the entire pool into gasoline!
Point being, there is nothing, really, to “admit” when it comes to the expected appearance of ancestral traits in currently living organisms of ANY kind.
A very interesting and provocative (in the “makes you think sense”) question. Thanks for asking it.
