I just picked up the new Discover Magazine. There is a
question posed on the cover regarding Neanderthals and Homo
Sapiens living side by side for so long: How could we live
side by side for 50,000 years and never have sex ?

The article is, according to "Discover", adapted from THE NEANDERTHAL
ENIGMA: SOLVING THE MYSTERY OF MODERN HUMAN ORIGINS, by James Shreeve,
to be published by William Morrow and Company, Inc. on September 1,
1995."

Also according to "Discover", "James Shreeve's previous book, LUCY'S
CHILD: THE DISCOVERY FO A HUMAN ANCESTOR, was coauthored with
anthropologist Donald Johansen."

I've just started the article and look forward to reading the book.
