The caption for the picture of the neanderthal:
Prof Stanford: "There’s evidence of evolution in the Galapagos." Ray: "Could you give me one instance?" Prof Stanford: "Yes, we have an example from a group of birds called Darwin’s finches." Ray: "What have the finches become?" Prof Stanford: "They've become anatomically new and genetically new, recognizably different species." Ray: "So they’re still finches?" Prof Stanford: "Well, of course they’re still finches, yes."

Even though, most creationists consider Homo erectus to be part of humankind, I don't think that most creationists consider the implications of what that means. When you put a picture of Homo erectus next to a picture of Homo sapien, one does not look human. This is a little less so with the neanderthal.

I cannot prove it, but I think the implication behind these two images is that only the Homo sapien is human. Ray seems to be implying something that he doesn't actually believe.
