Just for that...
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]

I notice that the book is identified as “in local libraries”
with a link to finding the libraries who have a copy. And I found it listed on Amazon.com for sale.... for $0.01. Yep, it’s worth a penny... plus shipping.

You know you’ve got something rare when the shipping is more than the book itself.

Must be a relative. Or have we at long last solved the greatest enigma of all (save Jack the Ripper’s identity)——
Who is Sunken Civ.
