Longer overlap for modern humans and Neanderthals — BBC News

— Have you seen who moved in next door?

— I know, I couldn’t believe it either. Have you tried saying Good Morning?

— They aren’t big on the social niceties. I barely got a grunt out of them.

— You’re lucky. I got a spear waved in my face.

— You realise Aubrey will be going to school with their little creature?

— The mini-monster going to school? Don’t make me laugh.

— Where did they come from anyway? I thought their kind had shuffled off.

— Wherever it was, they don’t have any hairdressers there.

Many thanks for reading!
