He also shows how a tiny bone from a baby finger was enough to identify a whole new humanoid species.

Which, in a nutshell, defines the inherent and complete idiocy of claiming that "hominid palaentology" is "science."

"Yes, many of us have Neanderthal DNA."

Stating the obvious! The Democrat Party and the entire staff of the New York Times, for example, are obviously Neanderthals. We didn't need DNA to prove it.

when you are scrambling around for minuscule amounts of DNA and the like....your science is limited considerably...

that does not make it not science...on the contrary it makes it exceptional science to be able to eek out what they got from the lack of evidence...This does not make their findings rote gospel...this makes it a great beginning towards the ultimate answers....
