No one in the media (unless you count Bernard Lewis) ever asks the obvious question: Why does every story about Islamic advances in learning or the sciences start with
"1100 years ago...."?
I have no doubt that at one point Neanderthals were better at something--hunting, fire-building--than my remote ancestors. It doesn't mean that we should try to emulate Neanderthals.

Besides, my wife tells me I look like a rather large Neanderthal, but less hairy.
