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'm betting the broccoli, cauliflower, and brussel sprouts in their diet was negligible.

LOL! However, the DemocRATS are going to be able to throw this back in our faces and say, “See! We can’t be Neanderthals as you Americans are always claiming!”

They went heavy on endive, arugula, and quinoa.

Well, yeah... but these guys also had a life expectancy of about 35. :D
No worries, though. I'm eating paleo now myself. I don't have to be concerned about being flattened by a mastodon.

They apparently lived in northern cold climates. Not many orange trees.

They call it vegetarian food, as opposed, you know, to vegetables.

One of the reasons our species did so well, is that it could thrive on such a varied diet. Some survived on mostly meat, (like Inuit) and some were mostly vegetarian.
