Yes, almost all of the scientific community, except for a small
sectarian group, a cult.

So EXACTLY the same position the world was in back when the
media and academia was ordering you to believe that
Neanderthals & so called "Moderns" never interbred... and you
believed them.

The history here, the fact is that your cult is violently opposed
to evidence based conclusions. The evidence in the case of
interbreeding was established GENERATIONS before the DNA
sequencing happened. Erik Trinkaus finally got so fed up that
he put together the definitive study, absolutely positively
establishing interbreeding using the fossil evidence and it was
STILL largely ignored and remains ignored. The only change
was that the DNA evidence was announced, and suddenly the
collective switched poles.

Can any of you mouth breathers identify even a single piece
of "Evidence" that pointed you towards "No interbreeding?"

Of course you can't. There wasn't any. You dug into the
popular answer, the "Right" answer -- the one academia
ordered you to believe and you never questioned it.

You get good grades by regurgitating answers on command,
not thinking...

And you're doing that now.

The exact same fundamental mistakes are repeated over
and over and over and over again, by you nimrods.
