Monkey See

So Sarah Palin implied that Rick Santorum is a “knuckle dragging neanderthal” the other day, although she did it by saying that she wouldn’t call him that and would let his wife do it for her. (Ouch!)
Reader Sleon writes in to ask if this mean Palin believes in evolution. She says no in her autobiography Goin’ Rogue:
I didn’t believe in the theory that human beings – thinking, loving beings – originated from fish that sprouted legs and crawled out of the sea. Or that human beings began as single-celled organisms that developed into monkeys who eventually swung down from trees
Huh?
I’m guessing that she doesn’t know what the word neanderthal means. If she did she would probably have to take it personally if someone insulted them.
