There have been discussions here about Neanderthals (not you, Mike Lee!) So you might be interested in the following abstract of an article in today's issue of Nature. (If your library access is like mine, you might get to read the article in a month.)
It is an interesting idea: Neanderthals, though intelligent, were adapted for a low-tech, cold weather evolutionary niche. So maybe they were a different species--the debate goes on.

So global warming killed them? Interesting.
