Where Neanderthals are concerned, Binford pops
up again in his familiar «Rent - a-sceptic» role; but it is regrettable that the book gives further exposure
to his bizarre notions, based on the flimsiest of evidence, about males and females
living largely separate
lives, with no semblance of a close family, as well as his erroneous
claim that a lack of fish - bones shows that Neanderthals were inferior
to «fully modern man» at exploiting this resource.
Earlier this year I covered the Ford Fusion Energi plug - in hybrid launch, and then drove one for a week as part of our Fastest Mobile Networks 2013 test, and found the car
largely lived up to its fuel efficiency and performance
claims.
