Neanderthal is English, Neandertal is German.

I am to believe that this guy is an expert on a subject that he can’t even spell right?

What is your argument? In any case, the argument used by the authors of the article are no different than the arguments used by Darwinians in adjoining chimps and humans. You should be happy, the neandertal/neanderthal and human difference is one of no distinction.

[ViLaLuz]

Interesting. The Bible does say that Ismael would be a wild ass of a man.

Probably 10,000 years from now people will think gangster rappers and ghetto people are like our Neandrathals. Except they won.

1.William King was the first to make a taxonomic name for the group we call Neandertals. He named it Homo neanderthalensis — that’s “neanderthalensis” with a “TH”.

the creationist’s stance that Neandertals were fully human (post-Flood) inhabitants of Europe and Asia.

That must mean they were the first to house break a Tyrannosaurus rex. LOL

[ColdWater]

Indeed, the valley Neandertal was named after is spelled Neandertal, not Neanderthal.

It was Neanderthal Valley before the Germans dropped the 'h' in 1901!

[AndrewC]

Read the friggin dictionary. Neandertal is an allowed spelling. What are you? French?

Homo sapiens neanderthalensis

No. Are you German?

They were named for the Neander valley area where their bones were first found.

GEEZ. When the fossils were found in the valley, it's name was spelled "Neanderthal"!

[AndrewC]

No. Are you German?

Yes, a drop or two.

Feast on this.

Paleobiology and comparative morphology of a late Neandertal sample from El Sidrón, Asturias, Spain

Fossil evidence from the Iberian Peninsula is essential for understanding Neandertal evolution and history. Since 2000, a new sample ≈43,000 years old has been systematically recovered at the El Sidrón cave site (Asturias, Spain). Human remains almost exclusively compose the bone assemblage.

BTW, their bones were NOT first found in Neanderthal Valley. Two strikes in one sentence. You are having a bad day.

[AndrewC]

Yeah, so. They use the

Neandertal

spelling in the text. So piss up a rope.

[ColdWater]

Feast on this.

"a new sample ≈43,000 years old has been systematically recovered at the El Sidrón cave site"

Blows the old 'Earth is 6000 years old' claim.

[stubernx98]

Seems they were doing pretty good until the big flood came along.

[kaehurowing]

This is so obvious even a caveman could have figured it out.
