Twist and shout. This virtual reconstruction of a Neandertal pelvis suggests that Neandertal babies didn't rotate during birth. [Timothy Weaver and Jean-Jacques Hublin]
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]

UC Davis....
Can anything out of there be accepted as reliable?
“Come on baby...let’s do the twist...”
So this educated scientific study is deduced from 1 set of highly fragmented old bones, from one individual, and some how this is supposed to represent an entire group of people? Is that right?
Grant money.
Paleoanthrapologist: Just so.
