The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer'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]

Totally amazing the conclusions that can be drawn from a ‘A fragment of a human jaw found in Serbia’.
Just Umma and me
And Mowgli makes three
We’re happy in
My Balkan Haven
A small crevasse
to hide my ass
when tigers loom
a little nest
to get some rest
from Serbian doom
we’re happy in
my Balkan haven
