Neanderthals got their name from a valley that was, in turn, named after a beloved pastor and hymnwriter named Joachim Neander.

Human-chimpanzee similarity is a hotly-debated topic in the evolution-creation wars. Are we 98, 95, 90, or 85% similar?

But, unperturbed, Dr Rob set out to answer it. Will our fearless hero…
