Twenty years ago, paleoanthropologists confidently asserted that there were just two species at the origin of modern humans: Homo sapiens, our direct ancestors, and the Neanderthals. Both had evolved from the earlier Homo erectus. When Homo sapiens began to migrate out of Africa on a large scale around 70,000 years ago, they met Neanderthals in Europe and western Asia, and the two species lived peacefully together and even interbred. Over time, the Neanderthals died out, though we still don't know precisely why, and that left Homo sapiens as the single surviving human species on the planet.

He was expelled twice and made a point of telling his examiners they were incompetent to judge him. He was, in other words, exactly the kind of brash artist the modern world was waiting for.
