Naughty, naughty. Poor neanderthal should have picked a better totem.

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]

Thanks. I didn’t see that.
But then, with Neanderthal you’re always hungry again a few days later.
Finish your liver!
And for dessert, lady fingers.
[old joke police weren’t around, so...]
“Its impossible to find young neanderthal these days...”
You just haven’t been to the “bad” part of town.
LOL
