I’ve been called both a “Redneck” and a “Neanderthal”. Neither name offends me.

Good science is something I always appreciate. However, it amazes me how many words some scientific journals can use to say utterly nothing.

It is also amazing to read “old” scientific treatises with current knowledge and see how often their theories were totally wrong.

My ancestors claimed to be “Scotch/Irish”, whatever that meant.

Scientific tools are politically and culturally neutral, but humans are not.

Click to hear Neanderthal mating call.

Yeh they won big this year. But they aren’t extinct. Only a bunch of ignorant Neanderthals could have elected Obama.

Since when did the beasts become human. I like the Neanderthal with the long black hair looking like a monkey. Helen Thomas is a better representation. Why is it so important for the Neanderthals to become human?

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]
