“Neanderthals carried the only human gene that has so far been linked to language. “

Hmm. Wouldn’t that make them at least related to humans?

“Experts question whether Neanderthals had the necessary biological gear,
such as fine nerves connected to tongue muscles and lips,
that would enable them do more than just grunt.”

So, they have found Neanderthals with flesh and nerves attached?

They have NO basis for that assertion. NONE.

“They lived in parts of Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East for around 170,000 years,”


How many of these skeletons have been found? What average lifespan? Harumph.

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]
