Neandertals on TV

Just a quick note to let readers know that PBS is premiering two documentaries on Neandertals tonight, both of which highlight the very latest science on these extinct humans. One is called "Decoding Neanderthals" and focuses on the new genetic and archaeological data, while the other is part of PBS's "Secrets of the Dead" series and focuses on the forensic-type information gleaned from Neandertal fossils. I've seen a bit of the "Decoding Neanderthals" show (you can view it for free on PBS's website), and it appears to be pretty good.
