The discovery of painted shells used as jewelry by Neanderthals suggests the homonids were capable of advanced and symbolic thought, scientists say.

    You can find more evidence of Neaderthal existance by visiting the American State of Texas especially near Crawford.

    Interesting. Just watched a PBS show hosted by Alan Alsa that was discussing the Neanderthals. It mentioned Tools, but I don't remmeber them discussing Art amongst them.

    Good thing they died out, we'd be lucky to have the Wheel by now if they hadn't!

    Now that is a totally uncalled for slag at Neanderthals. I think the creatures near Crawford are more signs that evolution works in both directions. "We are not men, we are DEVO." Who needs reasoning skills when you've got God to tell you what to do.
