“Neanderthal residents had developed a taste for self-adornment and makeup.”

Insert obligatory Helen Thomas picture here:

Certain Neanderthals also had an elementary spiritual sense as they placed flowers in their dead’s graves.

They also have a thing for Duck with Mango Salsa.

Because they were worth it? Research finds Neanderthals enjoyed makeup

Are they sure that is make-up or should it be make-up sex?

Metallic copper is found with copper oxide (a green pigment).

I've read speculation that prehistoric man discovered metallic copper while in the process of looking for green eyeshadow.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

I have known that for eons. All I have to do to see a Neanderthal wearing make up is watch television for about ten hours--which appears to be the average watching time to see a Martha Croak-me campaign ad.

For those of you living outside Massghanistan, try watching CSPAN. Wait for Barbara Mikulski to show up.

Neanderthals enjoyed enjoy makeup
Especially lipstick. They love lipstick...

Well, duh!?!. If you had a mug like they did you’d want to spruce it up a bit too.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks Free ThinkerNY. 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."

The make-up may have had a practical purpose, like the black paint under the eyes of athletes, or the camouflage make-up worn by soldiers.

[GreenHornet]

our low-browed Neanderthal cousins have been portrayed as dim savages whose idea of seduction was a whispered "ug" and a blow to the cranium.

Today, they would be playing in the NFL.
