Has anyone seen the 2- or 3-hour Discovery Channel documentary
"Neanderthal"?  I found it to be pretty intelligently done.  ("The Making
of Neanderthal", which was 1 hour, was pretty interesting, too.)  The
Neanderthals were painted as reasonably intelligent people, whose fatal
flaw was an inability to adapt.  In particular, they failed to develop
their weapons to compete with the Cro-Magnons.  One interesting
tidbit:  some anthropologists believe that significant interbreeding
occurred, and that some Neanderthal DNA survives, to this day, in all of
us.
