Neanderthal seeks human / by Reid, Pennyauthor.(CARDINAL)626718;
After losing her boyfriend, apartment, and job in the same day, Janie Morris can't help wondering what new torment fate has in store. To her mortification, Quinn Sullivan-- aka Sir McHotpants, the focus of her slightly stalkerish tendencies-- witnesses it all then keeps turning up like a pair a shoes you lust after but can't afford. She's a math whiz and a trivia collector, but Janie is more than a little naive when it comes to men and relationships.

After just five months of dating Janie, Quinn-former Wendell and unapologetic autocrat-is ready to propose marriage. In fact, he's more than ready. If it were up to Quinn, he would efficiently propose, marry, and beget Janie with child all in the same day. But Janie, much to Quinn's dismay, tosses a wrench in his efficacious endeavors and challenges him to prove his devotion by going through the matrimonial motions, no matter how minute and mundane. Will Quinn last until the wedding day?

Neanderthal man : in search of lost genomes / by Pääbo, Svante,author.(CARDINAL)399350;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Neanderthal ex machina -- Mummies and molecules -- Amplifying the past -- Dinosaurs in the lab -- Human frustrations -- A Croatian connection -- A new home -- Multiregional controversies -- Nuclear tests -- Going nuclear -- Starting the genome project -- Hard bones -- The devil in the details -- Mapping the genome -- From bones to genome -- Gene flow? -- First insights -- Gene flow! -- The replacement crowd -- Human essence? -- Publishing the genome -- A very unusual finger -- A Neanderthal relative."What can we learn from the genes of our closest evolutionary relatives? Neanderthal Man tells the story of geneticist Svante Paabo's mission to answer that question, beginning with the study of DNA in Egyptian mummies in the early 1980s and culminating in his sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2009. From Paabo, we learn how Neanderthal genes offer a unique window into the lives of our hominin relatives and may hold the key to unlocking the mystery of why humans survived while Neanderthals went extinct. Drawing on genetic and fossil clues, Paabo explores what is known about the origin of modern humans and their relationship to the Neanderthals and describes the fierce debate surrounding the nature of the two species' interactions. A riveting story about a visionary researcher and the nature of scientific inquiry, Neanderthal Man offers rich insight into the fundamental question of who we are"--Provided by publisher.

Naked Neanderthal : a new understanding of the human creature / by Slimak, Ludovic,1973-author.(CARDINAL)884428;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 189-191).1. Neanderthal in our heart and soul -- 2. A boreal odyssey -- 3. Cannibals in the forest -- 4. Rituals and symbols -- 5. Neanderthal aesthetics -- 6. Understanding the human creature.For over a century we saw Neanderthals as inferior to Homo Sapiens. More recently, the pendulum swung the other way and they are generally seen as our relatives: not quite human, but similar enough, and still not equal. Now, thanks to an ongoing revolution in paleoanthropology in which he has played a key part, Ludovic Slimak shows us that they are something altogether different--and they should be understood on their own terms rather than by comparing them to ourselves. As he reveals in this stunning book, the Neanderthals had their own history, their own rituals, their own customs. Their own intelligence, very different from ours.

The last Neanderthal : a novel / by Cameron, Claire,1973-author.(CARDINAL)553450;
40,000 years in the past, the last family of Neanderthals roams the earth. After a crushingly hard winter, their numbers are low, but Girl, the oldest daughter, is just coming of age and her family is determined to travel to the annual meeting place and find her a mate. But the unforgiving landscape takes its toll, and Girl is left alone to care for Runt, a foundling of unknown origin. As Girl and Runt face the coming winter storms, Girl realizes she has one final chance to save her people, even if it means sacrificing part of herself. In the modern day, archaeologist Rosamund Gale works well into her pregnancy, racing to excavate newly found Neanderthal artifacts before her baby comes. Linked across the ages by the shared experience of early motherhood, both stories examine the often taboo corners of women's lives. Haunting, suspenseful, and profoundly moving, THE LAST NEANDERTHAL asks us to reconsider all we think we know about what it means to be human.
