Their lives were nasty, brutish and short - and so were they, as it turns out. But our close evolutionary cousins the Neanderthals had plenty of admirable qualities, too. They were tidy and organized, for example. They ate their vegetables. They knew how to dress for any occasion.

And we're carrying around a lot more genes from our caveman cousin than we ever knew.
