[snip] I used to see if I could spot remnants of Neanderthal genes in those around me. I gave up since you never seem to get the head features right all at the same time - very good in one way usually meant very bad in another. The closest I got was Sir Isiah Berlin. Incidentally, on a remotely related theme, Oliver the upright chimp is excellent evidence for modern chimps coming from upright ancestors. His stance is so natural with all the bones/muscles etc working together without tiring, that he has to be some kind of "throwback" in the sense of a suite of "turned-off genes" being turned off again. (We should all bear in mind that "Evidence is simply those observations better explained by one theory than another"). JJ __________________________________ Yahoo!
