Unless I am mistaken, Neanderthals were not in our direct line of descent, not our ancestors. Distant cousins, perhaps, but not our own line.
Priceless!
In re Joachim Neuman/Neander...
Another Joachim had a valley named after him, in what is now the Czech Republic. We use a derivation of his valley’s name every day.
Joachim->Joachimthal->thaler->dollar.
...great minds think alike... ;’)
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]

The San Joaquin valley in California is named after another Joachim.
okay, they show up in a Google news search for “archaeology”, and FR doesn’t?!?

You don’t know Gene Simmons from KISS?
Carly looks the best ever in that video. I forgot how much I love that song!
They aren’t even the same species. Does that constitute ‘cousin’ when referring to animal relations? Is a wolf and dog the same species? Don’t know, just pondering.

I heard him once on an NPR interview (coming on to Terri Garr), but have never seen the band, since I’m a 50s-60s R&R product.
Quite the tongue, eh?
I recall reading that dogs and wolves cannot be distinguished genetically.
Yes, his tongue is legendary. His son inherited it as well.
I have loved KISS from a little kid. We watch the Family Jewels quite a bit and his kids are absolute dears. I hope my kids grow up so well adjusted. Of course he is a staunch Republican who took his daughter to military hospitals to show her what ‘real people’ do. Seems like a good guy with a sex addiction that he concedes himself. He dated Cher, Diana Ross and is with Shannon Tweed and has been for 20 years now. He had a cartoon my kids loved called My Dad is a Rock Star or something and he thought of it when his son had a ‘what my dad does’ day and he took in a poster of that picture you commented on. Yeah, that is something you expect at the show off your dad day, hehe.
Mick & Steven: the missing links...
I’ve never seen or heard them play. Maybe I should visit YouTube and check them out. Do you have any suggestions for some selections of their music, since you are a fan?
(Will I have to put the cats down the basement when it plays?)
