Were Neanderthals hunted to extinction ?

Given the fact that cannibalism is a reality, why should it be surprising that some people ate Neanderthals? My sentiments exactly.

This isnt suprising, I mean we drink animal milk, and if you really stop and think about where milk comes out of, its rather disgusting...not that Id drink human milk with my cereal mind you If it exists, humans have eaten, or tired to eat it.

If it exists, humans have eaten, or tired to eat it. This is an offshoot of Rule 34, isn't it?

I've heard about this - a neanderhtal skeleton that shows signs of butchering. That proves that this individual was probably eaten. Not all by a long shot were, I would say. We can say conclusively that we did not or could not interbreed with them - no neanderthal DNA is in ours - but I have often wondered if perhaps we bred them to death.

Let the feast begin, I say. Harte

I have to agree with Francesco d'Errico, one jawbone does not speak for the species.

I quote this statement again as it says volumes about the scientific community in general; dude, it's the opinion of one researcher boosted by a sensationalist reporter. It say's nothing of the scientific community...

This is an offshoot of Rule 34, isn't it? Yep, its right under "if it fits in your mouth, put it in your mouth" and just above "if it tastes funky, spit it out"
