Do You Floss?

Neanderthals did.

Apparently, some Neanderthals used sticks to clean their teeth as they have "grooves formed by the passage of a pointed object," according to paleontology professor Juan Luis Asuarga.

This is quite the find as I seem unable to get my 2 year old to brush his teeth despite 63,398 years of evolution over this Neanderthal. Maybe if I get him a stick.
