Whatever wiped them out, though, a consensus has been growing for years that it wasn't because the Neanderthals were short on raw intelligence. Their brains were as big as ours, and we've known for a century that they buried their dead just as we do; they also made stone tools, and theirs have been found in association with painted shells and other baubles. But maybe there was a subtler difference in our brains. Some paleoanthropologists have said that when our ancestors made jewelry, for example, it implied the ability to think symbolically - that the adornment represented individuality...
...Congress is looking to expand Medicaid because in terms of raw costs, it is the cheapest and most efficient way to cover people of modest means.

...Crime in Calcutta(available internationally with American release slated for early next year), the New England-bred author builds on his distinction as the contemporary writer most responsible for the West's vision of Asia.

His 1973 Saint Jack evoked Singapore in the swinging days before its turn toward a more staid Yuppiedom; Kowloon Tong captured the 1997 Hong Kong handover through the petty business...
...chairs and the bleached wood remind you that this is ground zero for the new Nordic cuisine, in which a traditional focus on pickling, shellfish, a lot of rye and root vegetables is combined with the full panoply of a modern professional kitchen's tricks. Here, a single raw razor clam comes encased in a magical tube of parsley gelee, and a gorgeous piece of pork belly gets the sous-vide treatment (vacuum sealed and cooked at extremely low temperatures), before being crunched up beneath a crust of locally harvested potatoes...
