The small face and jaw are also a feature of human infants. From what I have seen of Neanderthal infants, it was also true of them. Females normally have such features and if somehow these can be fixed in the males we have something approximating homo sapiens. IAC, I am bothered by so much specuation based on skimpy evidence. Extrapolations from present data, in either direction, is chancey, especially if it is driven by a philosphical agenda.
I agree. That's why I don't take what creationists say about evolution seriously. They don't know the data, and they wouldn't believe it if they did.
Out for a few hours (work to do).
