	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks bamahead! Somehow I missed your ping and this topic. Note: this is from late June. 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."

It's the ridge directly in front of the opening where the mandibular nerve enters the lower jaw. It's marked "Mandibular for.(amen)" in this drawing from Gray's:
