Very interesting and well written. But one important caveat: modern humans are not descended from Neanderthals. They were a separate species of hominid, which was possibly driven to extinction by Homo sapiens. (But not before some hot Paleolithic sex! My DNA is 3% Neanderthal.)
Great article. Now I am studying Fitzgerald v Fagles, trying to decide which I prefer.
Really enjoyed this; glad I came across it. Love your whimsical style. What a neat concatenation of facts, stories, musings. Please do fix the typo in the paragraph below the Lyle Lovett reference–no apostrophe in “its wild ferocity.” Thanks.
This is awesome. Sounds like a great class too.
