this one still has teeth:

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]

There are so many ways to go with this.... and so little time.

Absolutely true. One has only to meet my ex-wife and her parents.

There were recent articles posted indicating that a) Neanderthals may have been fair skinned and redhaired, thus very able to get as much vitamin D as possible from limited solar exposure, and b) there was a mutation in African immigrants for fair skin that may have made it possible for them to compete more effectively in the sun limited environment of Ice Age Europe. Perhaps someone can enter these links.
