The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer'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]

I'll have the roast duck with mango salsa.
Yes. And not in a small part, either.
Yes, I'm Neanderthal-American and I demand that my tribal rights to Europe be honored. All you puny homosapiens better leave my tribal stomping grounds and return the bones of my deceased ancestors.
Since I think the'Red Sonja' method of choosing an ideal mate makes perfect sense, I'd say "probably, yes".....:)
Well, almost everyone, even brunettes, has red lights in their hair, fwiw.
My wife says so.
Cirroc: "Thank you! Thank you very much, thank you! First of all, let me say how happy I am to be your nominee for the United States Senate! [ applause ] You know.. thank you.. I don't really understand your Congress, or your system of checks and balances.. because, as I said during the campaign - I'm just a caveman! I fell on some ice, and later got thawed out by scientists. But there is one thing I do know - we must do everything in our power to lower the Capital Gains Tax. Thank you!"
I think I'm part bear.
Discovery ran a special on Neaderthals and the supposed reasons for their demise this weekend.
I don't think it was all that convincing but revealed some interesting new data about them.
My theory is people that like to eat meat like I do must be part Neaderthal.
Those veggie crunching PETA types are probably non-Neaderthals.
Who'd a thunk that he was partially right. /s
Before my hair developed what I call 'highlights' it was red so I guess I am. LOL
Yes
