I am fascinated by Neantherthals and the fact that many of us have Neanderthal genes - I don't know if I have but began to wonder when I heard of their superior eyes and visual processing which began to remind me of descriptions of dyslexia.
Neanderthal eyes apparently took up too much room in the skull and didn't leave enough brainpower for social networking, which means that all the poor Neanderthals died out in the Ice Age - well maybe.
I can't help wondering, knowing human beings, if perhaps Homo Sapiens (that's us) killed them or drove them into the most inhospitable terrain? Just a thought.
