I've been told that the naming of Iceland and Greenland was all marketing hype. Greenland was misrepresented as being lush with vegetation by those who would profit from settlement. Iceland was misrepresented as being desolate and uninhabitable by those who saw Iceland's value and wanted to keep it to themselves.

An interesting debate among anthropologists is whether or not the Neanderthals died out from competition with Homo Sapiens or whether the two groups interbred, resulting in us carrying around Neanderthal genes. I suspect the latter when I wake up some mornings.

OT Neanderthal men found their women very ugly, perhaps hairy and muscular. The Homo Sapiens had smaller women, less hairs and more attractive and they started breeding with them.

That is why we modern man have to deal with another branch of the evolution in a day to day basis.
