@MatthewPope Here's his take on the shared Neanderthal / human genome
;-)
@PermianSailback I'm guessing Knight's neanderthals had lots to do with it. That and the fact that non-comedy Hanna-Barbera definitely had a house style which was very Alex Toth.

We are working to discover which groups of #Neanderthals became ancestors of today's people, and where the networks of these ancient people interconnected. Revealing those links to our deep shared past helps forge new connections today. That's my kind of #Neanderthalthinking
Recent archaeological work has uncovered the aesthetic cultures of #Neandertals, who sometimes decorated themselves with colors, shells, talons, and feathers, marked and engraved cave walls, and had an ear for language. #Neanderthalthinking
Around 120,000 years ago, during extraordinary period of warm global temperatures known as the Eemian, a community of #Neanderthals left the remains of more than 30 individuals in a rock shelter near Krapina, Croatia. They hunted woolly rhinoceros. #Neanderthalthinking
#Neanderthals were amazing people who lived more than 40,000 years ago. They survived three ice ages and ended up as ancestors of all of us. The first one uncovered was from Schmerling Caves, Belgium, in 1829, but it wasn't recognized for 100 years. #Neanderthalthinking
Computer modeling of fossil ear structures indicates that Neanderthals were able to hear & produce complex speech, much like modern humans (and unlike earlier hominids). https://t.co/7tMBusDlyE
Very happy to write this piece "Ten Things Archaeology Tells Us About #Neanderthals" for the American Anthropological Association @news4nthros!

Based on a detailed analysis and digital reconstruction of the structure of the bones in their skulls...
#Neanderthals and Homo sapiens had similar auditory and speech capacities

Neanderthals are our closest extinct human relative. They had big brains, large muscles, and great hearts. They were able to control fire, use tools, and they took care of each other, including burying their dead — which is how we know so much about them.

Check email.
See story about mini Neanderthal-like brains created in a lab.
Check sanity index for today.
Throws up hands. Decides to game the rest of the afternoon.
I was blessed with this sight twice today on transit. Even Neanderthals would be disappointed. Don't be dumb....its not rocket science. Remember that the precautions you take or lack their of may translate to irreversible consequences for others. #COVID19 #Masks #COVIDIOTS
@_Audinair @SkinnySnubbull Well they're not fossils, but we've already got a mammoth, and those things only went extinct 3700 years ago. At this rate, there'll be human-based Fossil Pokemon a few generations from now lol. Now that I think about it, a Neanderthal Pokemon would actually be pretty awesome.
