Ah, But if we are descended from Adam and Eve, where do the Cro-Magnon and
Neanderthal fit in. They do not look anything like the depictions of A & E!
Something wrong here. Which way is it spose'd to be?

A great many geneticists would beg to differ--and we are talking origins
here, anyway, so no matter how much alteration there has been due to
selection, the origins are still there, and the traits we see now have been
carefully nurtured and selected out of the original genetic material.  (Just
because Cro-Magnon and Neanderthal are back there a long way does not mean
that they are NOT your ancestors, nor does it mean that you don't share a
great deal of common genetics with them!)

certain distinguishable characteristics which are passed on through
successive generations. >>

Certainly.  And a great many of the traits that have been selected in modern
breeds are still there to a lesser degree in their less specialized
ancestors--the Arabians!
