 More Bad Science?
The story below just sounds to me like more BAD SCIENCE. It reminds me of the Nazis using skull measurements to say that Jewish people were inferior, or the KKK using skulls to say Blacks were subhuman. Somehow I thought science had gotten beyond this sort of thing. I guess not. Nephrology is in, and we're back to reading head bumps again I guess.
It's just as crazy to think that Neanderthals didn't interbreed with more modern man too, unless human nature has changed since then which is unbelievable unless you call yourself a "scientist". This is just one more example of why science can not be trusted.

Neanderthal was not your grandfather
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- You may think your grandparents act like Neanderthals, but U.S. researchers said on Monday they had strong evidence that modern humans are not descended from them.
A computer analysis of the skulls of modern humans, Neanderthals, monkeys and apes shows that we are substantially different, physically, from those early humans.
Harvati and colleagues combined modern computer technology and the tried-and-true method of determining species that uses physical comparisons.
They examined the skulls of modern humans and Neanderthals and 11 existing species of non-human primates including chimpanzees, gorillas and baboons.
They measured 15 standard skull and face landmarks and used 3D analysis to superimpose each one on the other.
"From these data, we were able to determine how much variation living primate species generally accommodate, as well as measure how different two primate species that are closely related can be," Harvati said in a statement.
Their computer analysis showed that the differences measured between modern humans and Neanderthals were significantly greater than those found between subspecies of living monkeys and apes.
