Neanderthals and modern humans mated 50,000 years earlier than we thought, scientists say.

One episode had a shaky, grainy video (believe it or not) of a bigfoot swinging on a branch. Matt said that is a known juvenile behavior. I said hmmmm.

“I hadn’t realized that comic book garbage was back. No scientist has made any of those conclusions (extraordinary eye size, slit iris, nocturnal, beast-like hair)”

I am unqualified to have an opinion on this, but I have a question.

I remember reading years ago that a large percentage of our DNA is identical to that of Chimps and Bonobos.

Is that relevant?

Good point, where did the snake-head gene come from?

This is about Neanderthals, not serpents?

We have a lot of DNA in common with everything with four limbs; the by and large, the critters closest to our bodys' structure have more and more in common. So, it's a matter of degree, and the degree isn't that much of a swing. We have a lot in common with mice, which is a good reason to continue to use animal testing for drugs and whatnot. If PETA doesn't like that, PETA should be forced to drink hemlock.

The Gigantopithecus could be the ancestor of the sasquatch, y'know, assuming anyone actually produces a type specimen by killing one. Until that happens, sasquatch doesn't exist, regardless of the thousands of prints, unknown numbers of photos and video, etc. Those History Channel shows on bigfoot are just awful, but I put them on in the background sometimes, for their entertainment value.

That’s an interesting link, wonder if that’s the critter described in “The Periplus of Hanno”?
