Remains in France found by archaeologists and geneticists suggest at least two lineages—not just one—of late Neanderthals in Europe. This article was originally published at The Conversation and has been republished under Creative Commons. ✽ The prevailing narrative of how humanity came about seemed straightforward enough: In what is today Europe, the last Neanderthals bowed out as Homo sapiens began arriving on the continent around 40,000 to 45,000 years ago.

Angela Fleck says this was the typical scene last year in the sixth grade social studies classes she teaches at Glover Middle School in Spokane, Washington: Nearly every student had a smartphone, and many of them would regularly sneak glances at the devices, which they kept tucked behind a book or just under their desks. “They're pretty sneaky, so you wouldn't always know that that was the reason,” says Fleck.

If given only a textbook account of American government, they leave the course still unaware of what self-government requires.
