I was reading CNN tonight and came across a very dumb headline, Neanderthals less 'creative' than humans. Last time I checked neanderthals are(were) humans. They are another human species, now long extinct. The Latin name for neanderthals is Homo Neanderthalensis; the latin name for modern humans (us) is Homo sapiens. There were many species of humans that are now extinct, but they were still humans.
This might seem to be a little nit-picky, but in my opinion, even little bits of misinformation can completely derail scientific knowledge and lead to ignorance. Let's fight ignorance.
Also, I feel that any species that is related to Ozzy, even at a genetic level, couldn't have been completely without creativity. Ozzy rocks!
