Sorry, but I live in Texas. The Neanderthals are still around. You see them at 2am in WalMart.

Gradual changes in human skull size and shape suggest a split between humans and Neandertals (often spelled Neanderthals) about 300,000 to 400,000 years ago, according to a new study. The oldest real evidence of modern man on the planet even by conventional dating schemes is about 30K years.....

I always thought the major difference between man and animals had to do more with the way the brain was wired than the physical characteristics of the being...
I don’t think you can tell that by the size of the brain or shape of the scull.

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
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]

Not all changes in the human skull have been random.
