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]

Teeth and bones don’t just sit there as teeth and bones. They are gradually infiltrated with minerals in the ground and water and become fossils which are minerals/stones, which have a very long life indeed.

Great thread!
This guy needed some tooth whitening. My dentist's summer special is still on . . .
