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]

Oh, you’d like a tour? Well, this is Rover’s room. He was such a good mammoth. So smart. See, there’s his rib cage. And across the hall is Rover’s grandson’s room. Oh, did he have fun playing catch with his grandpa’s tusk. Yeah, that’s it on the mantel.

Don’t know how to break this to those Frenchie eggheads, but Moldova is in Europe, not “West Asia.”
