Yeah sure! Hard core science, not some libtard professor’s conjecture.

Any Freepers out there know what percentage of Neanderthal’s genome is identical to modern human? The apes were just kicked out of the human club yesterday from what I read here on the forum. Chimps are as close to humans as chickens are! What is the Neanderthal’s status?

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." [pp 126-127]

Living the ultimate clean and literally green lifestyle ..."

Yep you bet! I wonder what the Lib Neanderthals protested against back then? Fire pits?

Yup, when the libs want you to live a “green” lifestyle, what they really have in mind is you living like a Neanderthal.

Maybe it was just a Man Cave, to get away from the wife & kids.

Living the ultimate clean and literally green lifestyle,...

Awww now tell me there's not an agenda in play here. That statement alone shows the longing of a lib-retard and their wishes for all of us...not them mind you...just us.

Idiots! Quit focusing on DNA and science. Don’t you realize this may be the exact bed where Ayla got her bones jumped by a Neanderthal? We’re looking at an altar, not just a rock and grass bed.

(Quick! Somebody post the requisite pic of Darryl Hannah from Clan of the Cave Bears and the discussion will get focused back on the right track)
