Marom and Rak claim, on the basis of a few mandibular features, that the Nesher Ramla (NR) Homo is a Neanderthal. Their comments lack substance and contribute little to the debate surrounding the evolution of Middle Pleistocene Homo. 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.

对“来自以色列内舍尔拉姆拉的中更新世人”的评论的回应

Marom 和 Rak 声称，基于一些下颌特征，Nesher Ramla (NR) Homo是尼安德特人。他们的评论缺乏实质内容，对围绕中更新世人进化的辩论贡献甚微。他们研究中的局限性和先入之见使他们无法解决将 NR 作为尼安德特人或现代人的二分法解释。
