Gore-Magnon was wrong even then.

Study shows competition, not climate change, led to Neanderthal extinction.
Deniers!

[gorush]

The Basque wiped them out, no doubt.

[Cowboy Bob]

Neanderthal extinction was principally a result of competition with Cro-Magnon populations, rather than the consequences of climate change.

And if there had been Affirmative Action back then, the Neanderthal would still be alive today!

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

There is some good evidence that Neanderthals had bony protrusions in their sinus cavities, that would slow down, moisten and warm air before it went to the lungs. This would be a big advantage when it was very cold out.

However, when it warmed up, most Neanderthals would have a perpetual and debilitating sinus infection.

What could prove this would be if there was evidence of Neanderthal heading north, with the other cold weather animals, to escape the heat and humidity.

But there are very few Neanderthal bones around.to study.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks decimon. 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."

I am still here, biotch!

[texmexis best]

Not buying it.

[Condor51]

In a recently conducted study, a multidisciplinary French-American research team with expertise in archaeology, past climates, and ecology reported that Neanderthal extinction was principally a result of competition with Cro-Magnon populations, rather than the consequences of climate change.

Sheesh, 'we' can't catch a break.

It was all -- Whitey's Fault!

[hellbender]

The Neanderthals invited Cro-Magnons into their territory “to do the work Neanderthals won’t do.” End of story.

Neaderthal extinction? Have these professors ever been to Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Oakland, New York....

They just needed Obama’s hope and change and non-competitive sports programs.
