A semi-interesting find, along with some info and 'facts' that just seem full of crap to me. Plus, the part about 'well, they would be dirty and would smell bad' cracked me up.

Why do people keep digging up my family's graves?

Larspeart,
I read the article, but didn't see the woo-woo element you saw.

It is still not a completely rejected theory that there was at least some gene sharing between neanderthal's and modern humans. It seems like this guy was one that continued to believe that.

I don't think belief in what might be becoming a minority scientific view makes someone a woo-woo. Perhaps I missed something here.

There are plenty of intermediate forms between ancient homo sapiens and archaic homo sapiens, especialy in the middle east, but the neandethals do look to be a less gracile form, with intermediates as well.

Who are the woo-woos? Or am I missing something?
