The more we learn about Neanderthals, the more like us they become.

Those dates also baffle me. How were they determined? If you do the math, there would ne much more people living today if we have ben around that long.

Doesn’t surprise me one bit. I try to maintain a paleo-diet and most mornings it feels like I’m pooping a fossil...

Apparently they ate a lot of dairy.

I know this as a (semi) serious subject and all but honestly, I want to know, more than about neanderthal science, how it is that at some point in a budding young mind a decision is made to make a career out of studying the feces of others.
Does one begin studying ones own feces and then, having developed a love for it, chase the family pet around the yard? Go on litterbox excavations?
how does this work exactly?

Wow, without a 7-11 on the corner, early humans had to eat whatever they could kill or forage.

Their diet was terrible. They’re all dead.

Or, we could phone Justice Ginsberg and ask her what she had for lunch.

Just imagine the guy squatting there pinching that loaf, imagine what he would think if he knew that 50,000 years later people would be interested in his poop.

"Scientists previously have hypothesized that Neanderthals were largely carnivorous with perhaps some vegetables..." Yeah, because only bears are smart enough to exploit all available food sources - hunting is so much easier.
And I didn't notice, but did they find some genetic marker to specifically link the poop to neanderthals? Just because they found neanderthal remains doesn't mean modern humans didn't use the same rock shelter at a later time.
