So the real question is if Neanderthals were approchable? I don't think that this would be the issue. If our two species were in a war like state, we may capture females and proceed to mate. Any chance to procreate maybe needed to increase the chance of survival of the species, even with less than desireable mates. To some extent, there also may have been some trading for food or protection. The reason for mating could be any number of things. Its not like walking up to a bear and saying, "your fur is lovely, can I buy you a fish?" Humans will try to boink anything, just some will get the hell beat out of them, some will get a story to tell the grandkids, and the others will wind up as a hot steaming pile of bear shit.

If I had mod points, sir, You would get them. Bravo for calling both parties out on their bullshit without sounding like a biased moron. The entire system is set up as an 'us' vs 'them' mentality, that blinds us to the fact that both parties are only looking out for the intrests of their team, not the interests of America. Until Americans can break free of this mentality, our leaders will continue to disapoint.
