That was an idiotic statement, a dog and a wolf can also produce viable babies, but they do this only in very seldom cases. All Sub-Species of the Species Homo could easily interbreed, and they did this for two million years, though the interbreeding was limited, and the drive to speciation did prevail.
If the Hobbits and the Neanderthals did not die out, today Humans could easily mate with them and create viable and fertile posterity.
Are you really unable to understand simple pictures?
It is clear from the picture I pasted that there was always a limited gene flow between different varieties of the species Homo, that began 2 Million years ago, but the basic traits of different varieties did not disappear, because the trend to a speciation was much more stronger.
Europeans have Neanderthal genes, Chinese have some genes that stem from Dali Man that are unique to China. There is a continuity of some morphological features in Europeans, in Sub Saharan Africans and in Chinese, like the shape of the nose and other peculiarities of the scull, that can be traced back to the Pleistocene period.
Different varieties of Homo retained regional differences, that can be seen in certain morphological features. That is hard science, scientists point to fossil and genomic data, and to the continuity of archaeological cultures.
Sub Saharan Africans do not have any Neanderthal genes, Asians and Europeans have Neanderthal Genes.
Yes, there were primitive forms of Neanderthals, but this sup-species evolved into modern Europeans, the later forms of Neanderthals were more similar to modern Europeans, than today Mongolians or Sub Saharan Africans. Yes there was an admixture of later African influx, but it was limited, the "out of Africa" and "replacement" theory are already debunked. The oldest Homo were found in Europe, not in Africa.
... human species first arose around two million years ago and subsequent human evolution has been within a single, continuous human species.
This species encompasses all archaic human forms such as H. erectus and Neanderthals as well as modern forms, and evolved worldwide to the diverse populations of modern Homo sapiens sapiens.
The hypothesis contends that the mechanism of clinal variation through a model of "Centre and Edge" allowed for the necessary balance between genetic drift, gene flow and selection throughout the Pleistocene, as well as overall evolution as a global species, but while retaining regional differences in certain morphological features.[1] Proponents of multiregionalism point to fossil and genomic data and continuity of archaeological cultures as support for their hypothesis.

In 1998, Wu founded a China-specific Multiregional model called "Continuity with [Incidental] Hybridization".[11][12] Wu's variant only applies the Multiregional hypothesis to the East Asian fossil record which is popular among Chinese scientists.[13]

Multiregionalists argue that marked (+++) shovel-shaped incisors only appear in China at a high frequency, and have <10% occurrence elsewhere.

"Only two features appear to show a tendency as suggested by the Multiregional model: flatness at the upper face expressed by an obtuse nasio-frontal angle and flatness at the middle part of the face expressed by an obtuse zygomaxillay angle".
...
"Contrary to Brauer's recent pronouncement that there is a large and generally recognized morphological gap between the Neanderthals and the early moderns, the actual evidence provided by the extensive fossil record of late Pleistocene Europe shows considerable continuity between Neanderthals and subsequent Europeans."[24]
Frayer et al. (1993) consider there to be at least 4 features in combination that are unique to the European fossil record: a horizontal-oval shaped mandibular foramen, anterior mastoid tubercle, suprainiac fossa and narrowing of the nasal breadth associated with tooth-size reduction. Regarding the latter, Frayer observes a sequence of nasal narrowing in Neanderthals, following through to late Upper Palaeolithic and Holocene (Mesolithic) crania.
...
More recent claims regarding continuity in skeletal morphology in Europe focus on fossils with both Neanderthal and modern anatomical traits, to provide evidence of interbreeding rather than replacement.[54][55][56] Examples include the Lapedo child found in Portugal[57] and the Oase 1 mandible from Peștera cu Oase, Romania,[58] though the Lapedo child is disputed by some.[59]
Fossil remains of Graecopithecus found in Bulgaria and Greece have been dated to 7.2 million years ago, "several hundred thousand years older than the oldest known Africian hominid."[60]
...
Multiregionalists have responded to what they see as flaws in the Eve theory,[66] and have offered contrary genetic evidences.[67][68][69] Wu and Thorne have questioned the reliability of the molecular clock used to date Eve.[70][71] Multiregionalists point out that Mitochondrial DNA alone can not rule out interbreeding between early modern and archaic humans, since archaic human mitochondrial strains from such interbreeding could have been lost due to genetic drift or a selective sweep.[72][73]
Wolpoff for example states that Eve is "not the most recent common ancestor of all living people" since "Mitochondrial history is not population history".[74]
...
Recent analyses of DNA taken directly from Neanderthal specimens indicates that they or their ancestors contributed to the genome of all humans outside of Africa, indicating there was some degree of interbreeding with Neanderthals before their replacement.[102] It has also been shown that Denisova hominins contributed to the DNA of Melanesians and Australians through interbreeding.[103]

It is obvious that the Wiki-Editors did everything to uphold the already discredited "out of Africa" theory, according to which the earlier Sub Species of Homo were replaced by a later African influx.
Genetic and archaeological evidence supports the theory about the multi-regional-origin. How else can you explain the 2-million-year-continuity of the human scull shapes in Central Africa, Europe and in China?
I am sure that there will be more and more evidence that support the multi-regional-origin-theory, though the leftists will try to hide the truth as long as possible.

Same as Gobbles media
What do you mean with "Gobbles"?
Was that a variety of Homo?
Or are you referring to Joseph Goebbels?
Do you think that the most prominent Chinese scientists and experts in the evolution of Homo are admirers of Goebbels?
Sorry, but you are sooooooo [self censored].

There is biodiversity between organisms as well as species. We see it in humans - eg skin colour, lactose tolerance, sickle cell disease and malaria resistance ...
Yes, but this supports my thesis, not yours. The first level of biodiversity is the diversity within a species, and then this diversity increases, and eventually we have different species that cannot interbreed any more. Thank you for making my point!
Prosthetic Conscience wrote:No. There are no species of birds that breed across the entire world...
Are you kidding? Of course there are a lot of migratory birds that are not separated by any geographically barrier, and some of them could easily interbreed, and they even do this some times, but the drive to speciation is stronger, that is why the biodiversity increases, not decreases, despite some hybridisation.
The same can be said about the fish, most of them are not separated by geographic barriers.
Prosthetic Conscience wrote: while humans do, and a human can cross the world in a day now, and has been about to go to new continents within months for hundreds of years.
The species Homo did interbreed in a limited degree for the last 2 million years. Why do you think that because today more humans can migrate, they will necessarily outbreed and destroy what was created by the Mother Nation in the last 2 million years?
Homo is as hard wired as any other living organisms, the tendency to marry within its own clan is stronger than outbreeding.
Oxytocin promotes human ethnocentrism
http://www.pnas.org/content/108/4/1262.abstract
Ethnocentrism is normal and rational, it is hard wired via chemistry, you cannot change it by propaganda. Yes, some individuals will outbreed, there are always deviations. Some individuals are sexually attracted to individuals of the same sex, some are attracted to children, some are attracted to members of an outgroup, and some are even zoophiles, but this will never be the norm, because of hard wired biological reasons!
Prosthetic Conscience wrote:The thing is, you're obsessed by race, and claim other races are inferior (eg in IQ). It fits you.
BS, I never said other races are inferior. How do you define inferiority? Africans are superior in some sports, like marathon, does that mean that Europeans are inferior? IQ is only one of many differences, and if an African has difficulties to compete in a Western society, and a modern European would have difficulties to compete in an archaic society, then this only means that they are different and are adapted to their own environment.
Prosthetic Conscience wrote:And so we come to your obsession with Jews.
I am just reacting to the obvious obsession with Jews that is a peculiarity of the Western media an politics. I am sure that Chinese, Japanese or Indians are not obsessed with Jews, they do not mention Jews 7/24 in all their media. So if I was a Chinese or an Indian, I would never talk about Jews.
As I live in a Western society, I have to react to the obsession of this society, speak it would be stupid if I ignored the 900 pound gorilla that is sitting in our western rooms
You constantly attack "racism", but you do everything to stifle any mentioning of Jewish racism.
So why should I care about you calling me a "racist"?
You do not have any moral superiority, your "anti-racism" is directed against white people that are not Jewish. Jews can have an ethno-centric state and Jews-only migration and citizenship laws, you will do everything to hide this and prevent any mentioning of this.
The non-Jewish whites are told that "diversity is our strength", while Israel becomes more and more Jewish!
So whose strength is diversity?
