Sounds like this anthropologist must be a Democrat.

"In the broader sweep of human evolution, the more unusual group is not Neanderthals, whom we tend to look at as strange, weird and unusual, but it's us, modern humans," Trinkaus said.

Modern humans, for example, are the only members of the human family who lack brow ridges, Trinkaus said.

"We are the only ones who have seriously shortened faces," he added. "We are the only ones with very reduced internal nasal cavities. We also have a number of detailed features of the limb skeleton that are unique."

This seems like a useful study. It is also an example of scientists continually reexamining the data to better understand our past.

In grad school my evolution professor considered Neanderthal to be late European erectus; that seems to fit in with this current thought.

And your comment that the scientist must be a democrat. I don't understand that at all. Republicans can be evolutionary scientists too.

Nah.
It's that stoopid agenda again.

Next step? Gays are more "normal" than Neanderthals!
