Why are the evolutionists bringing up Neanderthal Man and questions about whether or not he could speak? I guess they've run out of new "missing links" and are trying to revive an old one. Any competent anthropologist knows that Neanderthal Man today is classified "Homo sapiens"--fully human.

Their original mistake is understandable. The individual first assessed had been crippled with arthritis, and these people who lived in the Neander Valley near Dusseldorf, Germany, suffered with severe cases of rickets caused by a vitamin D deficiency. This caused softening of the bones resulting in skeletal malformation.

The Neanderthal people manufactured sophisticated weapons and tools of stone and buried their dead with flowers and various objects believed to be useful in the next life. Also, their cranial capacity exceeded that of modern man.

A study of Nebraska Man (Hesperopithecus Haroldcookii) gives us an example of the amazing abilities of evolutionists. From a single tooth, found in western Nebraska in 1922, evolutionists were able to illustrate how this creature and contemporaries looked..., similar to modern man but brutish in appearance. The eminent authorities of the day couldn't decide whether to designate him as an ape-like man or a man-like ape. In 1927, after further collecting and studying, the argument became a moot point. Nebraska Man was an extinct peccary--a pig. (Sorry Huskers.)

After studying these and other "missing links", it seems evolution is more art than science, in some cases all art and no science, and in cases such as Piltdown Man, complete fraud.
