An exhaustive comparison of Neandertals’ injuries to those of people today finds that water tubing and mishaps involving tables, result in top-heavy fracture patterns most similar to those observed on Neandertal fossils.

Jeff and Anthony tackle the question of whether this question is worthwhile at all.
