As with Thanksgiving, school's out but I had to work that bit later - just not to 4 PM this time. So here's some evidence [h/t Saraceni] that Neanders slept through the Ice Age.
Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum notes that even the fabled Sleepy Bear is not a Mammal-Like Reptile nor even armadillo. Such run warm even if not running hot... as Hamblin pointed out almost a year ago (noted on this blog right here). Stringer adds that humans have brains and he might've added that Neanders had larger brains. Although we might become suited for bearlike torpidity, with artificial sugar-injection; the Neanders didn't own such magic.
Patrick Randolph-Quinney of Northumbria University would like to know more.
