Museums urged to display the harsh realities of Neanderthal lives

Museums should rearrange their Neanderthal displays to include the sick, old and infirm rather than strapping healthy hunters, an archaeologist has claimed.

Neanderthal teeth found in Krapina (northern Croatia), from about 130,000 years ago.

This Neanderthal had an impacted molar, and the surrounding teeth have grooves, scratches, and fractures in the enamel.  This shows that the individual may have been using some kind of a toothpick (perhaps a piece of bone, wood or even stiff grass) to try and relieve the pain.

Neanderthals calling Afrikan people uncivilised and primitive. That's funny.

[scienceandfictionstranger-blog]

The Neanderthals demise, according to a recent theory, was caused by their vision being highly evolved especially for night vision and because of this, much of their brain use was devoted to this function and not thought or free-thinking as in Homo Sapiens. A strange theory I think.  Wouldn't this cause Neanderthals to be more intelligent? since more thought was needed to process the extra stimuli.

Clouds in Orbit

Listening to the wind howl, watching the cumulus cloud drift...

We're hurtling through space.

At a rate faster than tangent to us...

Earth aging as we are,

travelling while we meander in our own ozone.

Unaware of our lull;

we're all dragging like the Neanderthals we are.

Living what we think...worshiping a lie.
