It is a really awesome shot... if it's real. Am I the only one who noticed a change in trajectory of the basketball? It appears to be heading towards the left when he releases the ball as it exits the frame, yet when the ball comes back into frame, it is traveling slightly to the right. It wouldn't be hard to have the crowd fake their excitement.
Those who say that Neanderthals were killed off by an increasingly unstable climate have never looked at the oxygen isotope stages. They survived wild fluctuations in climate for thousands of years before they died out. We Humans have experience two glacials and two interglacia periods during our 200 thousand year existence, and we are still here. Neanderthals were around long before we were.
