This may be stretching it, but I saw a show on the Discovery channel of
all places where they had an english anthropologist who thinks that
there are still neanderthals living in distant parts of Mongolia. Anyone
ever hear if she failed to find anything or even went there? I imagine
that the story that came out of Mongolia was like the primitives in the
Phillipines that Marcos fabricated.

I would really like to see the recovery of a Neanderthal out of a bog.
Havng a nice pickled specimin would do wonders.
