Almost a day doesn't go by that I don't learn something cool on FR,
(unless the anti-science folks have hijacked the thread.)Thanks.

Easy! Neanderthals were human. That is not.

"Then look at the Basque language, unrelated to any other language(Lapp language too). Now if it's true that the last neanderthals died out in and around Gibraltar circa 19,000 years ago, could it be that spanish Basque is somehow a daughter language?....Has anyone ever looked closely at Basque DNA? "
There have been a lot of posts on the GGG list about a possible Basque link to the Celts, IIRC. Blam or SunkenCiv could help you on this one. They're both veritable fonts of knowledge in this area! :)

"As to speech, the absense of the hypoloid throat bone is supposedly evidence that they couldn't speak like we do(spectrum of voice sounds), " They have discovered a Neanderthal 'speech' bone. So, most agree now that they could talk,albeit in a high pitch if I remember correctly.

The mtDNA Dr Paabo sequenced suggested humans split from Neanderthals about 500,000 years ago - which fits neatly with the fossil record. It also suggested Neanderthals did not interbreed with our ancestors. Another interpretation might be that they were of "contaminated" DNA and were wiped out by the flood.

They have never been wiped out. Why, some of my best friends are neanderthals...
