NEANDERTHAL CLAIMS BRAGGING RIGHTS TO FIRST HUMAN SPECIES IN NORTH AMERICA. On August 25, 2011, about 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time), while exploring the immense submarine canyons (Figs. 8-10) off Monterey, California, submersible divers from Pacific Shelf Research (PSR), San Diego, made an improbable discovery that has rocked the conventional wisdom on Paleoamericans: to wit, the skull (Fig. 1) and unprecedented artifacts (Figs. 4-7) of a full-blown Neanderthal man. Calculated to be residing on the California coastline circa 50,000 (50K) years Before Present (BP). The startling relics removed from the deep offshore site include a fossilized archery bow (Figs. 5-7). And an artfully crafted flint dagger (Fig. 4), with a curious Venus of Willendorf-like handle. Which PSR has unofficially dubbed the, "Venus of Monterey". PSR's chief scientist, founder, and CEO, Curt Novolin, withheld announcement of their discovery for weeks pending radiocarbon dating of the skull and (likely) hearth charcoal recovered from the Neanderthal cave.
