Abstract
Marom and Rak claim, on the basis of a few mandibular features, that the Nesher Ramla (NR) <i>Homo</i> is a Neanderthal. Their comments lack substance and contribute little to the debate surrounding the evolution of Middle Pleistocene <i>Homo</i>. Limitations and preconceptions in their study prevented them from achieving resolution beyond a dichotomous interpretation of the NR as either a Neanderthal or a modern human.
