two points:
1. of course it is yet another nail in the coffin of the religion of evolution, hence the lack of publicity.
2. this will/would be spun to say it actually supports evolutionism...
what a surprise </sarcasm>
I don't see your reasoning. We used to thing that Neanderthals pre-dated Cro-magnon. Now we think differently. So what? How does that say anything about the validity of evolution?
