(urth) The problem of Cthulhu

[Lane Haygood]

Hi all. Long time lurker, first time poster.

Neanderthals were not "human," in the sense of being homo sapiens.  
They were another species, human-like, but not human.

Here's a wiki link... sorry, it's the best I could do on short  
notice. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal
