Hi, Doubletime.
You really need to read some more about science: your knowledge of science history and philosophy is full of errors.

D-N are all diffrent races of humans as suggested by the name homo.
When you see two words in a scientific name, the first one (
Homo, in this case) refers to the
genus. A genus is a group of species (lions, tigers, leopards and jaguars all belong to the same genus,
Panthera). The second word refers to the
species. So,
erectus,
habilis,
ergaster,
sapiens, and
neaderthalensis are different
species, not different races.

We have small short pygmees, We have very tall races as well. Some people are big, some are small, some short. Some tall.
These are not the differences used to classify hominids. Scientists classify Neanderthal and
H. erectus as different species because features in their skeletons are not found in
any modern humans, from pygmies to giants.
Examples are the shape of the hips, lack of a chin, a muzzle, the shape of the jaw and the roots of the teeth, the size and shape of the cranium, etc.
And, this is not just a random choice or assumption on their part: the differences between Neanderthals and modern humans are comparable to the differences between tigers and lions, or between horses and zebras. We have actual
evidence that these types of changes distinguish species.

Since recreations of extinct homonids are not to trust on. ( Especially when media is evolved. Just look at archapitetus piltdown nebraska man)
There is no such thing as "Archapitetus."
And, it has already been told you that the only reason we know that Piltdown and Nebraska Men were frauds is because
scientists found it out. This is a good reason to
trust scientists on this issue.
I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that science always has the answers. But, I
am going to tell you that we will
eventually sort out our own errors. We always have, and we always will: that's what science is designed to do.

But if Darwin was never borned, noone would get the idea to say it belonged to a diffrent race.
Not true. Alfred Russell Wallace also came up with the same idea on his own.
Furthermore, Darwin didn't just come up with the new idea like Mohammad or Buddha did: his idea developed out of the common scientific ideas of the time. The idea of evolution was around before Darwin was born: Darwin was just the first one to come up with a good explanation for why evolution was happening.
