artists conception of neanderthaal child. I find this picture incredible.

Incredible as in 'amazing', or 'not credible'?

'amazing' would be the implied meaning i think. i'm pretty sure thats one of the ones reconstructed using forensic techniques from a replica of the actual skulls.

I'm more than a tiny bit skeptical... Are they just getting all of this from the hyoid and the ribcage? I can't imagine what else they would have to go on.

as from the recent find that Neanderthaals were red-heads.

 

and yes, amazing as in incredible,awe-inspiring, etc.

They got a computer to say 'E' like a species that was extinct thousands of years ago...who is funding this?
