Ah! Neanderthal! I was just going to bring that up, eta. There just so happens to be a thread on it here. And I was going to mention how this thread hearkens back to that one.

And, yes, Bingley. I've encountered that new Cro-Magnon pronunciation and felt the same. I seem to recall there may have been a brief mention of it somewhere along the way here. Probably just another one of those proxy decisions of some scientist trying to wax elitist over another. It was, and always will be, Cro-Magnon to my ear. And I've been delving into paleontology and archaeology since I was a precocious tot. I think the discussion on the Neanderthal thread will pretty well be analogous to what's going on here.
