>Further evidence, it seems, that Neanderthals were not our >ancestors. Okay, a dumb question. How different were Neanderthals from other (insert proper term here) of early humans? Are we talking cows vs. cock roaches or are the Neanderthal and the Cro Magnon (or whatever) more like house cats vs. bobcats? And does that make sense? Seriously, I wonder, scientifically speaking, if there were significant if any differences between the metabolisms and digestive systems of the various offshoots of the early human species. And I'm sure my terms are all rediculous but, hopefully, it makes sense.
