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]

Further investigation will discover two .22 cal size holes in the back of the cranium and traces of cement around the ankles.

Lot of Italians in Michigan's lower peninsula. Try Buddy's Pizza sometime. Not sure about the upper peninsula. Might be some Neanderthals around.

A few years ago I went to see the wall of skulls illustrating human evolution and the Smithsonian financed by David Coch(sp?). The earliest hominid skulls start at the left and the most recent end at the right. They are all labeled. There were a lot of Heidelbergensis and Neanderthal. At the very end in the lower right corner was a skull labeled homo sapien and an age of 12,000. It did not look like an HS, so I looked at the other skulls to see which it most resembled. The winner was Heidelbergensis. At home I Googled the found location. Something like Cow Marsh or Kow Swamp, I don’t remember for sure and my computer is misbehaving so I don’t dare go look for it while in the middle of writing this. Sure enough several skeletal remains had been found at that location and there was a lot of argument over the identification because of the primitive features and the recent age. This swamp or marsh is located far to the South of Australia. I believe that these were a primitive population that may have been there when the HS aboriginies arrived about 50,000 years ago. Then they were gradually pushed to the south over 38,000 years and finally killed off or died off. IF you ever get to DC, go look at that exhibit and see if you agree.

Neanderthals have a kind of incisor called a shovel tooth. Also can be found at Google. My two incisors on each side of the 2 central ones have that feature. My teeth are also large and very hard. One of these days I will do Ancestry and see how much Neanderthal blood I have. My oldest son had all 6 of his wisdom teeth pulled. Dentist wanted to know if he had Esquimo (sp?) ancestry. It turns out his dad was 1/16th Cree Indian (a Canadian tribe). He is very compact and strong and has done 20 years in 82nd Airborne and Special Forces. His dad had a lot of Neanderthal type physical features, but I don’t have any usable DNA for him since he died in 2005.
