OK, I'm confused.  Mixing "race" and Neanderthal in the same sentence is
confusing me.  I guess I don't know what the "official" definition of
"race" is.  I thought "race" was based on superficial characteristics
like
skin color and other trivial things.  I am genuinely confused.	Could
anyone help with a definition from a good dictionary/textbook?

Thanks,
