Separation between Neanderthal and Homo sapiens might have occurred 500,000 years earlier

The researcher concluded that it is possible to correctly determine the species to which an isolated tooth belonged with a success rate ranging from 60% to 80%.

There's a big difference between 60% (which is slightly better than guessing or flipping a coin) and 80% and an even bigger gap to 100%.

If true, it means that "Neanderthal" was around for damn near a million years.

Neandertal teams played football against Sapiens, Heidelberg, Antecessor, and (Caucasian, Sino, and Indo) Erectus teams...

And they probably invented the vuvuzela too!

I think some of those guys are boasting!

Great way to cover up one's short-comings.
