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." [pp 126-127]

With heavy continental glaciation (ice age), the sea levels would have been lower by as much as 300 ft. There is likely a wealth of fossil and archaeological material offshore.

I’d hate to tell you what that looks like to me.

Looks like an old piece of bakelite to me!
So...how do they find evidence of an epidermal cyst in a fossil bone?

Entire civilizations have been concocted from from bones like this.

Even an eloaborate story about the tribal life, dining arrangements, and family living conditions have been described using pieces like this to ‘prove’ evolution.

So... where are the missing links? just one? You know, the species where an ‘evolving’ fish only had half a set of legs that drew larger and larger until they waked on land?

They didn’t ‘evolve’ complete legs or wings all at once, did they?

They, could tell from that, that this is part of a neanderthal young male?

Outstanding.
