Friday, January 13, 2017 NYTimes.com » RI The New York Times "Neanderthals weren't the slow-witted louts we've imagined them to be — not just a bunch of Neanderthals," Jon Mooallem writes in this week's cover story. In fact, new research shows that they shared many behaviors that we long believed to be uniquely human: They buried their dead, made jewelry, even manufactured glue from birch bark. So where did our notions of human supremacy come from? Mooallem travels to Gorham's Cave in Gibraltar to learn more. Elsewhere in the magazine, Taffy Brodesser-Akner profiles Andy Cohen, the man who turned "The Real Housewives" into an empire that looks more and more like American society. Patrick Symmes travels to the Philippines to investigate the vigilante killings that have gripped the country since President Rodrigo Duterte's election last year. And Greg Howard writes about growing up wanting to be like Ben Carson and how it feels to be someone's "token." Happy reading, Jake Silverstein Editor in Chief EFTA00690461
