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]

Says ‘fake’ science alert above, but I can’t see much wrong with the article. Is that how you see it? What is fake?

Why do people pretend that Neanderthals are not human?

Proof of devolution!

Humans became Neanderthals! (that's the only explanation for Democrats)

Except (homo sapiens) modern humans like us have mDNA which goes back 300,000 years. Fake “science” to shore up the ever-weakening consensus thinking about human origin.

humanity split in two. One group stayed in Africa, evolving into us. The other struck out overland

How do humans and Neanderthals have a common ancestor in Africa if Neanderthal DNA doesn't show up in modern Africans?
