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’ve worked with that guy for the last 11 years on the factory floor. His name is Cleatus and he’s one of them wiry bikers with all sorts of tattoos.

That is a pretty good-looking neanderthal.
If I wasn't married I just might ask that neanderthal out for a date.

All those tools found on the Jersey shore. I wonder if any were found around Long Branch or Point Pleasant?

They found this in Jersey? The picture does kind of look like Spookie or whatever her name is.

I wonder where they’ll find the last American. Colorado Springs? Pigeon Forge, Tennessee? Alaska?
