IT is NOT a child!!!
It seems that only with Cro-Magnon Man (homo-sapiens) did ‘childhood’ take on any special meaning. Other animals in the wild mature within two or three years, and are then able to fend for themselves. With the advent of modern man came a longer period of childhood development. And that remains so even today with all of us, homo-sapien-sapiens. :)
Hmmm! Grows up fast and lives longer than Methusula - 100,000 years.
Hahahahahahahhahaahahahahahahahha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its funny how they keep trying to add to the stupid, already proven false, THEORY of “evolution”. Another pig’s tooth maybe? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[snip] Dental growth records contain biological information and give an overall indication of the maturity of a species. Ramirez Rozzi and Bermudez de Castro studied the series of ridges, called perikymata, on teeth fossils. They compared teeth fossils from Neanderthals dating from 130,000 to 28,000 years ago, earlier samples dating between 800,000 and 400,000 years and teeth fossils of homo sapiens that were 20,000-8,000 years old.

[snip] “Based on our study of the enamel of these Neanderthal teeth and other modern ones, we can’t support the claim that Neanderthals grew up more quickly than do modern humans,” she said. Key to this conclusion are microscopic lines on the outside of teeth that mark the incremental growth of enamel on a young tooth. [end]
Neandertals Had Long Childhoods, Tooth Study Suggests

[snip] The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Online Early Edition, compared growth rates of Neandertal front teeth with those of three modern human populations: Inuit (Eskimo), English, and southern African... They found that Neandertal (often spelled “Neanderthal”) teeth grew at a similar rate to those of people living today and actually formed slower than those of southern Africans... The team based their findings on layers of tooth enamel... Other researchers who studied Neandertal tooth remains reported in 2004 that Neandertals became sexually mature adults by as young as 15 years of age (see “Neandertals Were Fully Developed by Age 15, Experts Say”). The 2004 study found Neandertal wisdom teeth grew 15 percent faster than those of modern humans. Guatelli-Steinberg, though, says the earlier study did not take into account how variable modern populations are in their dental growth — a criticism that was also raised at the time of the 2004 study’s publication.

Neanderthals’ Tough Stone Age Lives

[snip] Close examination of the ancient teeth revealed disturbances of enamel formation, especially in the children and teens, that Rosas and his coworkers attribute to near starvation... In another analysis, they compared three Neandertal jaws from the site with jaws from 32 Neandertals and 23 modern Homo sapiens previously found at Stone Age sites throughout Europe and western Asia. Reconstructions of the lower faces indicate that Neandertals evolved into northern and southern varieties, the team claims. [end]

One tooth and one specimen does not a general rule make.
