Anthropologists in the UK have constructed a remarkably life-like model of a Neanderthal man from a 70,000 year-old skeleton that was discovered in France over a century ago.In 1909, scientists discovered the remains of a group of Neanderthals at La Ferrassie cave in the Dordogne region. One of the Neanderthals, which they named La Ferrassie 1, had a skeleton that was particularly well preserved — and it was this skeleton that served as the template for the reconstruction. The missing parts — the thorax, ribs, pelvis and some spinal pieces — were replaced by the bones of a Neanderthal discovered at Kebara Cave in Israel in 1982.

Sean Penn is a fantastic person - I didn't see Chuck Norris get a boat and go out to save people in New Orleans after Katrina. I didn't see Chuck Norris help build houses and supply tents, food and other goods to the people of Haiti after the huge earthquake. I did see Sean Penn do all this - he is a real man, he is not just talk and pretense, he walks the talk.

Giving to charity is easy, anyone and everyone can do it. Going out in the field, risking one's life to help others is a totally different matter, it takes cojones and courage to do so.

That would be Sean Penn, [I'll] and sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a period.
Now, with grammar like that, how seriously do you wish to be taken?

Maybe they can resurrect Walker Texas Ranger, but do one of those time travel things where Norris goes back to visit his relatives 70,000 years ago. He should fit right in. The acting level will be easier for him to handle, no words needed. Grunt....kick.....shoot....repeat.

This could explain why Chuck Norris doesn't believe in evolution. In his case, there hasn't been much. (At least for the last 70 thousand years!)

reconstructive images of that 'bog man' found in UK some years ago looked decidedly like my ex husband. I didn't do it, I swear to bog, err, dog, err, something.
There are several red haired actors with a sort of similar bone structure look. Damian Lewis always reminded me of someone... Just recently realized it was Robert Lansing he reminded me of. Both with very interesting facial bone structure. And that guy in the movie The Last Legion, Kevin McKidd too.
Maybe a genetic thing?

Chuck Norris may be Neanderthal, but Mitt Romney is Cardassian.

Unlike Chuck Norris, the neanderthal man most likely had a realistic sense of self-worth.
Chuck reminds me of Mitt, he suffers from delusion of grandeur!..: ) - 7 months ago

A few years ago National Geographic headlined a great story about Neanderthals being redheads.
DNA testing of people from around the world has recently found that Neanderthal genes constitute about 3% of modern humans (though absent in Africa).
Apparently Neanderthals evolved outside of Africa.
I find this stuff very fascinating!
