This one just defies credulity. We’re supposed to think horny Homo Sapiens wouldn’t do a Neanderthal? You know the saying, any port in a storm . . .

I wholeheartedly agree, and not just for that reason. :’) There’s always been a real moonbat vibe to all the Neandertal bashing, and this particular “study” is another one out of the master-race capital of the modern world, the Replacement advocates of the UK.

Virchow was the first moonbat in this area:
The Future of the Past: Archaeology in the 21st Century The Future of the Past:
Archaeology in the 21st Century

by Eberhard Zangger

[W]hen the headteacher Johann Karl Fuhlrott discovered the bones of a Neanderthal in a cave near Dusseldorf in 1856... Rudolf Virchow, President of the Deutsche Gessellschaft fur Anthropologie... who personally promoted the principle 'always practise honesty and stand by the facts whatever happens' -- endorsed the interpretation that the Neanderthal was a bow-legged, Mongolian Cossack with rickets, who had been lucky enough to survive multiple head injuries, but who, during a campaign by Russian forces against France in 1814, had been wounded, and (stark naked) had crawled into a cave, where he had died. Thirty years passed before the specialists recognised their mistake. [pp 288-289]
