Women Neanderthals shaved their legs. This practiced died out as later more sophisticated H. Sapien Europii made their debut.........

Next thing they find is a Neanderthal Mach 3 razor blade with three stone chips.

The blades were for spreading the mango salsa, of course.

We Are Neanderthals.

Not all of us. Show me your official Neanderthal tattoo or our secret Neanderthal handshake.

Scientists are always so pround of finding out how wrong they were last time. They consider it marching forward with the latest and greatest information.

I call it: Finding out your last guess wasn't right either.

Excavations of Neandertal artifacts at two caves in northern Spain have yielded an unexpected discovery—a trove of thin, double-edged stone blades that researchers usually regard as the work of Stone Age people who lived much later.

Yeah, well you might wanna do a little research next time.

Nothing for me. I seem to have lost my appetite.

That may have been the origin of those famous "Gillette Blue Blades" I used to shave with back in the 60's.

Just like a Neandertal to bring knives to a gun fight.

Geez guys, this is a serious scientific study, and everybody is craking jokes and making fun of it.

I would hate to think what people would say when a study is done about homo erectus. I think we are all descended from homo erectus.

Yes, the H.E. threads always go where you think.
Now that you've introduced the subject here we'll likely see a few up and coming jokers use your post as an excuse.

Obviously stolen from an oppressed minority of the time.

Was it the "erectus" or the "homo" part that caused her to leave?
