I love that they gave the Neanderthal in a suit the Standard Lawyer Haircut. He looks like he could be on Law & Order: Paleolithic Crimes Unit.

Where the goddamn shit can I watch this movie?!?! And how have I not heard of it?! This looks like an actually-entertaining and wonderfully-retro version of 10,000 BC.

Short but super athletic.

Also as far as we can tell they were as cultured and caring as any other humans.
It’s still controversial somehow in the west but in the East it was always orthodox paleoanthropology to say that, say, Peking people interbred with modern people. It will be entirely orthodox on the N/W too.

Thanks for that link – I was using canistream.it a few years ago and it kind of pooped out I think, I will need to use this JustWatch! Going to grab this flick right away.

I might even watch it tonight – the question is, will I be able to tell the difference between it and what’s on CNN…?

“…modern humans didn’t wipe out the Neanderthals so much as we just absorbed them.”
We are the Borg. I’m conflicted about this.
