	Gods Graves Glyphs	Homo heidelbergensis, believed to be ancestor to Neandertal... The Neandertal Enigma by James Shreeve in local libraries 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."

It must just be the turkey and stuffing talking, but does anyone else think we are supposed to get more excited about less in the field of archaeology?

Thanksgiving. So simple a caveman can do it.

There I beat you to the punch :)

OMGosh, I’m a Neandertal. Anesthetic to that nerve only blocks the pain to the front teeth in my lower jaw.

I found out when I had a root canal in a lower back tooth. The dentist was not aware why the shots she kept giving me were not effective, and she thought I had “hysterical pain,” which I have never had in my life. So after having that procedure with virtually no anesthetic, I found another dentist who was aware of the anomaly. I stuck with him, duh.

So easy a caveman can do it.
