JAMES MOORE:...in Germany, quarrymen working in the Neander Valley, made a remarkable find... named "Neanderthal" and Germany the birthplace of early man. But soon evidence of early man was being found in France and Spain as well. To their annoyance, the British had none.

Human baises, jealousies, and desires got in the way of science.

Its the same with Louis Leakey's theories about early man in the new world. I'm not sure I agree with them but he certainly didn't deserve the treatment he got.

I would have been kind of hard for the Neanderthals to wander over there considering almost all of the British Isles were under ice.
