Lurqer....

I assume you are aware of The Shanidar Finds...
the latest Nat Geographic mag...list the Shanidar Man as "Having gone missing"
due to the museum looting in Iraq...
maybe his bones are in the collection that holds the 'missing' Peking Man finds...
(Somewhat interesting to note..
Peking Man was 'lost' by The US Marine Corp. guard..
and Shanidar Man was lost because The Marines...had
(to quote dick cheney) "Other Priorities")
'IF' language was not advanced in H Neanderthaensis..
Im wondering if the flower burial smelled ...just as sweet

"Shanidar Site", Homo sapiens neanderthalensis
Ralph Solecki discovered 9 Neandertal skeletons between 1953 and 1960 at the Shanidar cave in Iraq. They are thought to be between 70,000 and 40,000 years old. One of them, Shanidar 4, had apparently been buried with offerings of flowers (although this interpretation has been disputed). In 1971 Solecki wrote a book, "Shanidar, the First Flower People", reversing the earlier stereotypes of semi-human brutes. Another skeleton, Shanidar 1, was partially blind, one-armed and crippled. His survival also is evidence of a complex social structure.
