"In the 1920s, the Neanderthals were reconstructed as wild people with dark hair and dumb, not really clever," she said. "Today, with the same fossil record, with the same bones and no other information - just a change in ideology - you see reconstructions of people with blue eyes and quite light skin colour, looking intelligent and using tools.

"Most of the reconstructions you see in museums are a thing of the imagination of the reconstructor. Our goal is to make this reconstruction less subjective and give them an objective basis with scientific data."

Shhhhh ... this is also true of evolution. It is just someones godless imagination at work. As more evidence is uncovered and objectively viewed it suggests the opposite of some dumb ape like "person".

The old prejudice against Neandertal (dark hair, misshapen, retarded) came from an opponent of evolution, a German. Alas, it persists today for PC reasons.
