appear that on current evidence that Neanderthal was the inventor of the

I dunno, this seems like a pretty far reaching conclusion based on very
sketchy evidence. I really don't think the anthropological world is ready
to roll over on this one and believe that Neanderthals were flute playing,
God-fearing blade-makers who watched public television.
I just don't want future alien anthropologists to look back at Texas in the
90's as the birthplace of a hyper-credulity that led to our eventual
demise.
