To Y Forum....and you don't have to publish this. When I sent my original response on this I signed it 'Not a Neandertal' for fun. I realize that you all are journalists and that you edit these things. You all changed 'Neandertal' to 'Neanderthal.' Just to let you know that Neandertal is the proper spelling of the town in Germany that the species(Homo Neandertalis)is named after and that Neanderthal is actually incorrect. Neanderthal has crept in over time and is the common spelling but modern Anthropology is actually trying to correct this. Thanks
