It’s amazing how much stuff anthropologists can make up, er I mean discover from a handful of bones and shards.

Exactly what is the supposed difference between Neanderthals and Humans?

Neanderthals ARE Humans!!

[rigelkentaurus]

So they had problems with Rat-Commies 140k years ago too.

Oh. I thought this was a Scientology thread...

[Vaquero]

Perhaps Neanderthals invented Xenu?

[Dilbert San Diego]

My limited understanding, is that we modern humans are Homo Sapiens. Whereas Neanderthals, Cro Magnon Man,
Homo Erectus, Australopithecus(sp?) et al were previous species of man. At least that is what I have understood, that these other human species experienced interbreeding with Homo Sapiens, and were bred out of existence as separate species of man.

Anyone know better, please educate us. Thanks.

It's a shame Neanderthals went extinct. Oh wait.....

[skr]

I am equally incredulous, I mean, amazed.

[SauronOfMordor]

Another possibility is that early humans made a habit of killing other predators who might compete with them for food.

"Neanderthals and Humans"

Sort of like German Shepards and dogs.

They found a diary under a pillow deep in the mud. All they had to do was read it.

Exactly what is the supposed difference between Neanderthals and Humans?

It comes down to the phrenology, i.e. the bumps on our skulls.

[Monkey Face]

...It comes down to the phrenology...

I had someone try that on me when I was about 16 or so. In the middle of my parents' living room with them present. My response at the time (inaudible) was: "Claptrap."

'Face

[SunkenCiv]

You’re being a little hard on Neandertals.
