Wow, what a moronic hit piece this is.
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]

There is no year zero. It goes from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D.
I also don’t like that absolute certainty unknowables like “How many neanderthals were on the earth 12,000 years ago are asserted.

There were only around 10,000 Neanderthals living at any one time. That's astonishing...IF true. How could they determine that?
I'm not a big fan of crowds. I go out of my way to avoid crowds. One of my DNA tests tells me I have more Neanderthal DNA than 75% of their customers. I wonder if there's a linkage there?
You might have seen me in the commercials...

Remember how uptight and scared liberals were some 20 years ago when it reached 6 BIL?
Magazine covers and all.
Not that it was a cool milestone, but a fearful prospect.
Everything to liberals is fearful, except any government interference.

I take most archeological “facts” (assertions) with a pound of salt.

Neanderthals were more inclined to

How the hell would you know ?
Where you there ?
So tired of these morons insulting our common sense intelligence.
They weren’t there
They have no possible way of knowing anything they were ‘ inclined’ to do.
