I'm pretty sure we wouldn't have missed a couple of Vikings running around Greenland.
They do tend to stand out, don't they ?

I don't see any Neanderthals running around
Umm, have you ever been to the southeastern quarter of the US, Citizen ?
Hell, I might be able to dig you up some homo erectus if you go deep enough into the backwoods.
Plenty of homo redneckius down there too, which is widely suspected to be an offshoot or subspecies of erectus, although due to inbreeding the specific genetics are a bit murky.

It cannot be said enough, those who do not learn from history, are doomed to endlessly repeat it

I think I understand what you're saying. It's like when all the Russians moved out of the Chernobyl site after the accident, that makes Russians extinct. It's not impossible for a culture/society to move without becoming extinct. Just like it's possible that Neanderthal interbred with modern man instead of going extinct. I realise that the evidence is pointing the other way, but the possibility still exists.
Not really, we know the Russian's moved, where as the Greenlander's had nowhere to go.
As for Neanderthals, there's none left alive, so whether they interbred with Homosapians or not it largely irrelevant. They no longer exist, ergo they are extinct. That's what extinct means. There's evidence that some Dinosaur species evolved into birds, but Dinosaurs are also extinct.
Besides as your source says:
Quote:
"Neanderthals made no lasting contribution to the modern human [maternal] DNA gene pool," a team of German, American, Croatian and Finnish researchers wrote in Friday's edition of the journal Cell.
Beyond that the definition for a species is the ability to breed and produce viable fertile offspring. For Neanderthals to have made a contribution to the Human genome they'd have to have been the same species, they weren't.

Does Atlanta count? The thing that struck me most, besides the heat and not being allowed a fucking beer on Sunday, bastards, was the level of racial segregation there.
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

If birds are Dinosaurs, which I do believe, they certainly are not extinct.

So if we decide to change the name Dog, to Cat. Dogs become extinct?

Err, no. I think you'll find the differences between a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Sparrow run a little deeper than their name. But if Dogs evolved into some other species, and the original members of the Dog species died out (which is a sub-species of wolves, so erm, whatever) then yeah, Dogs would be extinct.
Just because an offshoot species that has evolved from another still exists, doesn't mean the original still does. Birds may have evolved from Dinosaurs, but they AREN'T dinosaurs.

So even though all human ancestor are Apes, humans aren't Apes? Even though all bird ancestors are dinosaurs, their not dinosaurs?

We all evolved from single celled micro-organisms if you go back far enough. Are you a Paramecium?
