KEYWORDS: neandertal; neandertals; neanderthal; neanderthalsThe Neandertal Enigma"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]

No wonder Hillary was able to beat Rick Lazio. Another victory for Homo sapiens over the Neanderthals. Although Hillary probably should be classified in another species, Homo mendax.
Italy’s most loathsome Neanderthal:
Benito Mussolini:
Born: July 29, 1883, Predappio, Italy
Died (exterminated!!!!): April 28, 1945, Giulino, Italy
America’s first Neanderthal dates back to 2008.
0.12 does not sound possible. There is so much guess works and speculation that I have a hard time considering their “facts”.
Hey ! That is an insult to the rest of us knuckle draggers !
Itza me, aMario
Results vary depending on methodology used, but commonly cited numbers say that modern humans are 99.9% identical in DNA.
Neanderthals were 99.7% identical and apparently interbred with humans, making Neanderthals the same species as humans.
By contrast chimpanzee DNA is around 96% identical to humans, cannot interbrede and so are classified as a separate genus of great ape.
I didn’t know Helen Thomas was Italian!...................
I think they found the original original Famous Ray’s there.
I wonder how the calzones were?
That doesn't stop some from trying...
“Neanderthals emerged 700,000 years ago.”
Which brings to mind the old question: What was there before the universe emerged?
I found him first. I called him Daddy Joe and he had more hair on his back than the ones in Clan of the Cave Bear.
Well, that’s kind of a personal question- oh, you said calzones...
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
"For thirty years, nobody disputed this 'fact'. One group of scientists abandoned their experiments on human liver cells because they could only find twenty-three pairs of chromosomes in each cell. Another researcher invented a method of separating the chromosomes, but still he thought he saw twenty-four pairs. It was not until 1955, when an Indonesian named Joe-Hin Tjio travelled from Spain to Sweden to work with Albert Levan, that the truth dawned. Tjio and Levan, using better techniques, plainly saw twenty-three pairs. They even went back and counted twenty-three pairs in photographs in books where the caption stated that there were twenty-four pairs. There are none so blind as do not wish to see."

It would be nice if they gave the methodology and data instead of just the opinion or theories. There are other people out there with opposite opinions and just as many facts. When I see an article I can not tell if it is a hit piece or a theory with same methodology as global warming.
