Neanderthals and teenage pop stars

April 11th, 2006, under , ,

If you compare your average scantily clothed teenage pop star to a lone academic genius, it turns out that the former is a more typical example of a homo sapiens, while the latter really rather resembles a neanderthal. Or that at least seems to be the message of a view set forward by a team of US archaeologists, according to whom the main factor that led to the survival of our species over our neanderthal cousins was our endless obsession with the way we look and how we present ourselves to the others.
