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]

Bottom line: Can't see why this is such a reckoning. Which creatures use artificial ornamentation on their own bodies?

Maybe Neanderthal HAD feathers. Not in the pictures I've seen.

I think you found a picture of the ANCESTORS of the Neanderthals.

Don't forget Miss Sally Rand . . .

The portrayal of her doing that feather dance in “The Right Stuff” was one of the highlights of that film, still the best of the genre.

It was a serious question. Only humans decorate their own bodies as a means of attracting the opposite sex.
This means Homo neanderthalensis truly was a member of the human races.

“Juan Jose Negro, director of the Donana Biological Station in Seville, Spain...”
“Juan Jose Negro?” ...now that’s some serious affirmitive action in action right there.
