I'll have the roast duck with the mango salsa........

[Red Badger]

Women Neanderthals shaved their legs. This practiced died out as later more sophisticated H. Sapien Europii made their debut.........

[GSlob]

Next thing they find is a Neanderthal Mach 3 razor blade with three stone chips.

We Are Neanderthals.

Not all of us. Show me your official Neanderthal tattoo or our secret Neanderthal handshake.

Scientists are always so pround of finding out how wrong they were last time. They consider it marching forward with the latest and greatest information.

I call it: Finding out your last guess wasn't right either.

Just like a Neandertal to bring knives to a gun fight.

Obviously stolen from an oppressed minority of the time.

We Are Neanderthals.

I was working in a retail store 25 years ago in the LA area where I saw the ugliest woman and her son. They were short in stature, massive hands, huge foreheads, giant jaws, hair everywhere. At the time I told myself, surely this is what Neanderthals looked like.

When I see people like that I am convinced that there definitely are Neanderthal genes on our population.

We Are Neanderthals.

Early Basques?

They just better not try to carry them onto an airplane.

I'm just glad the last word in the headline was 'Blades'.

[billorites]

"The finds suggest that Neandertals were the intellectual equals of H. sapiens, at least in toolmaking,"

You people are just so incredibly condescending.

[afraidfortherepublic]

They're going to find stuff like this when they excavate my husband's basement workshop!

[Citizen Tom Paine]

I think that the brain size of Neanderthal, on the average, was larger than that of H. Sapien. Check it out, and consider the consequence.

At both caves, Neandertals fashioned bladelets in a series of stone-cutting operations similar to those employed by Homo sapiens several thousand years later, Bernaldo de Quiros now proposes.

This reminds me of something from last year, regarding the age of some art that had to be Neandertal in origin when a better technique pushed back the date. Gee, I wonder what kind of ad hoc fallback position will be concocted by the "Neanderthals [sic] went extinct because they were inferior" wank-jobs?
