No oral sex jokes, please:
The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
in local libraries
Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

Rule of thumb for primates:
Male and female same size = monogamous
Male much larger than female = harems
Humans? Average male just a little larger than average female = mostly monogamous...

Pfft.
Palm readings are only good for when you need to know how much money the gypsy lady needs to bury in a grave yard during the full moon in order to shed yourself of great and dangerous evil.
Everyone knows that.

;’) Actually, when there’s little in the way of sexual dimorphism (I just like to say it, okay?) i.e., when the genders are the same size, the males often share females (harems, but the other way).

...a telltale marker for how much of the androgen class of hormones -- and specifically, testosterone -- someone was exposed to while in the womb...Women who receive high levels of androgen may have similar traits...More likely, A high percentage of perinatally androgenized females would have been sterile, and with varying degrees of hermaphrodite expression in the formation of external genitalia.

I think a lot of current humans are pretty conflicted about it too.
