How scientists recreated Neanderthal man
A team of scientists has created what it believes is the first really accurate reconstruction of Neanderthal man, from a skeleton that was discovered in France over a century ago.
In 1909, excavations at La Ferrassie cave in the Dordogne unearthed the remains of a group of Neanderthals. One of the skeletons in that group was that of an adult male, given the name La Ferrassie 1.
These remains have helped scientists create a detailed reconstruction of our closest prehistoric relative for a new BBC series, Prehistoric Autopsy.
La Ferrassie 1 is one of the most important discoveries made in the field of Neanderthal research.
His skull is the largest and most complete ever found. The discovery of his leg and foot bones was hugely significant, revealing to scientists that Neanderthals walked upright, contradicting previous research.
(conitnued, upright hey?)

The homo erectus episode was a good one last night too. Tonight is the australopithicus afarensis one... or 'Lucy' to her friends. Should be cool.

Yeh, the last one was good.
She wore a sort of jumper, so you couldn't see the underlying nipples, but you got a very good view of their overall size and shape.
There were shots of her going up a ladder as well, so her ass was prominently displayed.
What spoiled it for me was the old gits, talking about bones.

Re: How scientists recreated Neanderthal man
Do we know that neanderthal didn't have abundant body hair as a cold adaptation? I've heard theories that they may have been hairy like big foot.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
