1997-05-13 Love Amidst the Textbooks: Neandertalia
Several overheated parties sent suggestions for the AIR Campaign
or Textbook Improvement ("AIRCTI -- pronounced "AIR kitty").
AIRCTI aims to warm the cold, emotionless textbooks of today by
adding to each a love interest.
Here is proposal from investigator Lorena Madrigal:
Biological anthropology textbooks are in great need of some love
or lust or both as a tool to test whether Neandertals were member
of our own species. Neandertals (with their distinct morphology)
have been considered by some authors as members of a different
species, and by others as members of our own, simply a regional
variant. Certainly, a love story (mating must occur) between a
Neandertal and a Homo sapiens would clarify the issue.
