Neanderthal man floated into Europe, say Spanish researchers

Spanish investigators believe they may have found proof that neanderthal man reached Europe from Africa not just via the Middle East but by sailing, swimming or floating across the Strait of Gibraltar.
Prehistoric remains of hunter-gatherer communities found at a site known as La Cabililla de Benzú, in the Spanish north African enclave of Ceuta, are remarkably similar to those found in southern Spain, investigators said.
Stone tools at the site correspond to the middle palaeolithic period, when neanderthal man emerged, and resemble those found across Spain.
"This could break the paradigm of most investigators, who have refused to believe in any contact in the palaeolithic era between southern Europe and northern Africa," investigator José Ramos explained in the University of Cadiz's research journal. Although the scientists have not yet reached definite conclusions, they say the evidence that neanderthal man mastered some primitive techniques for crossing the sea into Europe from the coast near Ceuta looks promising.

Kennedy, Neanderthal, makes sense. 
I call it ‘presentism’ but no clue what, if anything, its official name is, but it’s often a problem with wackademics.
Everything then was just as we see it today, geography, climate/habitation capability, wise.
You’ll, occasionally, get one of the wacks to acknowledge that the terrain in an area of study was very much different in the distant past, and apply it to that very limited location, but then in big picture, he’ll be right back to what is now is like it was then.
This explains why N. Africans cross over to Europistan today. They have relatives there who are anchor babies and give them rights to immigrate.

Where are you?
You know... you might consider turning this forum into your own blog, perhaps. I know I would subscribe.
Where did you go to?
Blam — you are correct about the one species. If Cro-magnon and Neanderthal could produce fertile offspring, then biologically they are the same species.
Thanks.
I wrote that ten years ago and still think it's correct.
