I guess the experts were right, we are what we eat — and Neandertals were all mussel.

“A brave man it was who first an oyster et”

Mostly attributed to Jonathan Swift but many believe it was a Samuel Johnson quote. On continental Europe it's believed to have been a Frenchman's musing.

But now we know better, it was a Neanderthal, probably a French Neanderthal.
