# Neanderthal
I thought it was now commonly accepted that homo sapiens ARENT decended from homo neanderthalus? Rather when some ice age ended, we moved into europe and chased them all away with better pointy sticks than they had?
Thats what i remember Robert Winston saying anyway

sorry, what I meant to say was that because Neanderthals used so much of their brain for smell, they were quickly 'out-evolved' by the chaps that were our ancestors.

And did you know that the ginger hair gene comes form Neandertals?*
