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]

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?

Home of the last Neanderthals? About 20 years ago I had a family of them living next door. Seriously, you find a site and determine this was the last of them? Archeologists can find a pinkie bone and weave a complete story of the individual’s life.
