Anthropologists were surprised to discover that the grey matter of our infant ancestors, who became extinct about 28,000 years ago, shared the same shape and size.

NOBODY views Neanderthals as "our ancestors".

For the benefit of any who might have missed it, the basic non evolution of modern man.

Where did you get the dog? "She bought me in a pet shop."

I only know of one that was around back then to see them and it was not the author of this fairy tail.

Humans are thought to have bred with Neanderthals about 3,000 years ago.

I have long suspected that Neanderthals were still around only 3,000 years ago, but now the science establishment is admitting it?

For later.

Computer models? Hack *cough* *cough* *spit*!

It's fun to see that the shysters have graduated from the "computerized personality analysis" you used to be able to buy at the state fair, to publishing in real live scientific journals 'n stuff.

Wow.

The continuation of the article says 30,000 years ago, not 3,000. It also goes on to say that until 2 million years ago homo sapiens and Neanderthal brains were nearly identical. Since neither homo group was around 2 millions years ago, I guess you could say that is true. The wording about going extinct 28,000 years ago is rather ambiguous as well. Did the writer ever take English classes??

Some of our teenagers are like Neanderthals, too ... at least in their personal hygiene habits.

Oh, well. I’m sure there’s a natural selection advantage there somewhere ...
