The story is told of a child who watched a sculptur take a large block of granet & over many weeks produced the statue of a man. Overcome with awe, the child asks the sculptor:"How did you know that the man was in the rock?" The sculptor"knew" that the man was in the rock in the same way that the Neanderthals "knew" that the tools were in the stones. Both works are the product of a mind with concepual ability. I think we need to rethink our attitude toward the Neanderthals. I still think they are our human ancestors.
