Gene sequencing gooooooooooood!

[tomzz]

You look at gorilla skulls and at live gorillas and there's a funny disconnect:

The thing which is not obvious from the skull and which nobody might suspect if all they had was bones, is the way the back of the head goes up to a point to provide leverage for biting muscles.

You have to assume that the same might have been the case with neanderthals.

the "neaderthals" keyword is useless. Try these instead:

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve

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]

Great. Next thing you know the powdered pansies of the US Senate will be encouraging Neanderthals to illegally immigrate into the US to do the jobs that even the Mexicans won't do!

Jeeze....Don't these scientists watch the news?.....

[AndyTheBear]

"Our theory maintains that there is no evolutionary connection between Neanderthals and modern humans," states Ross. "If this is the case, then Neanderthals should prove to be genetically distinct from modern humans-precisely why this new research on the nuclear DNA of Neanderthals is so vitally important."

What does he mean by "no evolutionary connection"? Does he mean that we could not have had a common ancestor? It is difficult to make sense of this. Evolutionary models suggest all species had a common ancestor, and certainly many of them are more dissimilar to us then the Neanderthals.
