Thanks ETL, but this looks like more "why were Neandertals speechless" crap. At least the FACT that most people alive today still carry Neandertal DNA has started to seep into the barely functioning cerebral cortex of some of the jokers who kept asking for years the illogical "why did N go extinct?"

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]

“Thanks ETL, but this looks like more “why were Neandertals speechless” crap.”

Is that an accepted fact because I would be really interested in how they determined that?
