This is what the Times does better than anyone else. They are finally admitting that the most likely thing that doomed these squat hominids were our ancestors.
And it likely was not very pretty.
Happy New Year to all the ScienceFreeps and non-science Freeps!

Neanderthal ping.
[This ping list for the evolution -- not creationism -- side of evolution threads, and sometimes for other science topics. To be included, or dropped, let me know via freepmail.]

Dr. Tattersall's initial reaction was visceral, then more analytical. "For the first time, I really feel I have met a Neanderthal," he said. "He was so much like us, but actually quite different." I don't think this guy gets out very much... I've been meeting Neanderthals for quite some time now...
Meega, Nala Kweesta!

To: Pharmboy

Hmmm...the leg proportions are about right for Her Heinous also...methinks you're onto something.

Here's Dr. Ian Tattersal with the reconstruction. Can you tell which is which?

Well, I feel vindicated now:
.....Dr. Tattersall disputed the notion, once current even among some scientists, that Neanderthals may have been so humanlike that if dressed in contemporary clothing, they could have passed unrecognized on the subway......
At least the phrase "Knuckle-draggin' neanderthal" might still be accurate for use as an analogy !!

You can't fix this...

You or anyone on your ping list venture a guess as to what function that bell-shaped thoracic cage served?

Beer gut. We're devolving.

But wasn't he the Neanderthal that wanted to have sticks and stones registered?
