I remember one of the very first theories I heard in jr. high school about human evolution was that we were separated from most mammals because we have an opposable thumb which enables us to grip things and use tools.

Now we learn that the Neanderthal may have had an additional feature-—the opposable tongue.

Does this mean that my old girlfriend who could tie a cherry stem into a knot in her mouth with her tongue was descended from the Neanderthals?

She ALSO had red hair come to think on it.

Mammals told me there’d be days like this.

Very likely.
