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]

That’s about the same as mine. Am I going extinct?...

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

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.

Nothing else besides meat and vegetables?
To: SunkenCiv
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.
To: SunkenCiv
A diet based on meat (including fish, eggs and dairy) is not a bad thing. Toss in some nuts, olive oil, some berries and a few veggies like broccoli, brussels sprouts and hot peppers and you have yourself pretty much the perfect diet. Don't forget the wine.

They would have preferred a good chocolate cake, but it hadn’t been invented.

I wonder if they had vegan health nazis saying they will die if they eat red meat?

"Neanderthals diet: 80% meat, 20% vegetables"
If they were around today they might be eating more vegetarians.
