The Neandertal Enigma

"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]

“Slighter” bodies made it easier for Homo sapiens to run from H. neanderthalis.

The brilliance behind this discovery is breath-taking.....

They had to have huge chests to accommodate their huge lung capacity since there was less oxygen to breathe becaus eof Glowbull warming...............

short, deep barrels?

Like TARDIS barrels, short on the outside deep on the inside?

It's unclear, though, why early H. sapiens evolved slighter bodies that contrasted with what had been a typically stocky physique in other Homo species, adds Weaver, who did not participate in the new study.

How exactly are Neandertals supposed to participate in a new study if they are extinct?
