This is more in line with my thinking on this subject.

French Neanderthals.......where to begin, where to begin?
Neanderthals would not be any different looking than anybody else. They had stronger sword arms on average and would fight a wolf or bear tooth to tooth, but a lot of people now could do that. Their women gossiped and giggled excessively. Maybe that isn't unusual either.
Sorry for the thread hijack blam, it's Friday and nothing has struck me funnier than the thought of French Neanderthals. There's so many jokes, my brain is frying in giggle overload.
They're still there. Now they're called Muslims.
Not so modern!

I don't know how modern "European Neanderthals" were.However Europe is still made up of neanderthals so call one and ask em !!!
I had a neighbor I swear the bones of his arms were as big as my legs. He had a huge jaw, brow ridge, the works. He was definitely pre-Neanerthal. Nice guy. A carpenter.
Whaddya know.....
Yeah? Well, as western Europe becomes more muslim-ized, it may well find itself gone full circle...
Dr. Cuozzo is a born again Christian and will be refuted by any one who does not believe in God.
His research is easy to understand and explains the difference in a way that Complements the Bible not contradicts.
When science is in agreement with the Word of God it is correct.
I recommend that believers and non believers read his books before criticizing his work.http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/homs/cuozzo_cg.html
Buried Alive: The Startling Truth about Neanderthal Man. By Jack Cuozzo Green Forest, Arkansas: Master Books. 349pp. ISBN 0-89051-238-8. Reviewed by Colin Groves.
Jack Cuozzo is an orthodontist who works in a hospital in New Jersey, trained in forensic anthropology by the noted physical anthropologist W.M.Krogman. He is fascinated by the Neandertal fossils, and has personally examined and X-rayed many of them; this makes him unusual, possibly unique, because he is also a creationist. I know of no other creationist who has even tried to look at original fossil hominids: not Lubenow, not Bowden, certainly not Gish, all of whom snipe away from a position of profound ignorance. But Cuozzo has studied the originals: what difference does it make to his assessment of them?
His descriptions and basic assessments of the fossils, informed by his training and his skills in the othodontic field, are almost uniformly excellent, especially in his concluding "Research Notes" section. The way he reconstructed the subadult skull from Le Moustier is a case in point; his slightly patronising surprised tone when he reports (p.300) that the curators are using his radiographs to "put it together correctly" is quite uncalled-for: the curators realised that he very obviously knew what he was doing. In four and a half pages (pp.274-279) he demolishes the notion that the distinctive Neandertal morphology is entirely due to disease, taking apart the three proposed hypotheses - arthritis, syphilis, rickets - one by one; he even chastises a fellow creationist, Lubenow, for getting caught up in the rickets hypothesis. So one is the more astonished to read, in the next page and a half, from this man who has so clearly established that Neandertal morphology is real, that the entire appearance of the Kabwe (Broken Hill, Rhodesian) skull was caused by acromegaly!
