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]

They came into contact with the same alien vehicle that Quaterman did in “Quaterman and the Pit” and destroyed all the Neanderthals...
Neanderthals played softball and humans played baseball.
I thought contemporary science rejected one of the two of these “cave men”.

Cro Magnon Mammoths vs. the Neandertal Three-Toed Sloths
Good pitching always beats good hitting.
Just more self-loathing from the humans. Surely there’s no ill that has befallen this planet that those evil humans didn’t bring about.
Please forgive me. It’s dark now, the hot tub put me in a silly space and here it is:

“compared to people who haven’t spent much time hurling.....”
I really thought I had some super witty response to that quote, but sadly, I can’t stop laughing long enough to type it.
Good night all!
So when am I gonna see me some REP-PAR-RAY_SHUNS?
LOL!!! I knew this post had ridicule written all over it.
Nova did a documentary on the mystery of who was the Neandrathal:
Neanderthals on Trial
In 1856, bones of an unrecognizable hominid turned up in Germany’s Neander Valley. This early human and others like itsturdy, large-headed individualscame to be known as Neanderthals. Despite a century and a half of study and debate, Neanderthals remain an enigma. Were they our ancestors, or an evolutionary dead-end? Were they assimilated into early modern (Cro Magnon) populations, or were they wiped out en masse in a Pleistocene genocide? “Neanderthals on Trial” investigates this long-standing mystery.
OMG! That is NOT who I think it is!
some of us at work were discussing neanderthals today ( a little slow at work )and decided since some modern men look like neanderthals still that they were merely a band of hominids that were cut off geologically for a time and inbred for a thosand years or so. the humans that show those traits today have GOT to be inbred.
If this is true, why is Algore still walking about?
Judging from the answers Obama supporters have given to a Zogby poll done after the election, I’d say that the Meanderthals are alive and well, though extremely ignorant (that hasn’t changed over time).
