From Anne Gilbert:

Re: On brink of collapse, Neanderthals may have flourished (June 24): Thiis was a really good story, though it raises a lot of questions... like how could Neandertals be “collapsing” if they were “thriving” as the archaeologist suggested. Still, it’s good to know that there are people out there that understand that this group of prehistoric humans were not “Neanderstupids”.
