Blam, I know from your posts that you have an interest in the history of science. I took a few classes in college that dealt, in part, with science of the ancients. I was always intrigued by the descriptions of "wild men." If I recall correctly, the ancient Romans, or maybe Phoenicians, described the "wild men" living in stone age condition on the Canary Islands, as having lots of red body hair, having no understandable language, and being of large stature. (BTW, the Canary Islands were not named after the bird, but because of the dogs (canis) that were found there.) I have always wondered if these sightings, and other similar ones in the Caucus Mtns and elsewhere, represented the last of the Neanderthals.
What do think about that?
