I watched a documentary about the Neanderthal extinction theories. Very interesting. I think opinion keeps changing on whether we wiped them out or not. How strange it would be to have another species of hominid around. I'm not sure if that's the right word but it would be like Vulcans and Klingons. Weirdarama.
