The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer'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]

If they drew Mohammed, the caves are going to be destroyed.
God created man only 6,000 years ago.
No one told this caver.
This is old....as in old news. The french gov does maintain a nice web site for anyone wanting to see these images, http://www.culture.gouv.fr/culture/arcnat/chauvet/en/index.html
One of the most interesting things about this cave is the presence of human footprints and to me of nearly equal importance is the presence with that human of wolf/dog prints.
