You can still find these guys at any union meeting.

That may be part of the reason for the popular myth, which says we’re all really just the same, and speaks of some sort of a happy, idyllic prehistoric period in which Gaea-worshiping matriarchal societies dominated a happier planet.....

Cave PEOPLE are one thing, the Neanderthal was a cave ape. Cro Magnons did in fact look better than that.

When I see these pictures, something primorideal in me screams. It's like, my genetic structure knows this species, knows they are very dangerous, and wants to kill them or flee.

Based on my guys turning inside out the minute I see these pictures, I have a hunch this guy's art is accurate to what the species actually looked like.

There’s a hint of tan line... she must have had a different fur bikini for the colder temperatures in early spring.

That's what Vendramini says i.e. that people see those images and just about have heart attacks. There's a Kindle version of Vendramini's book on Amazon for around $10 and there's at least one non evolutionist interpretation of the data available. Weird, but non evolutionist...

Apes and humans are completely different species and the Neantherdal skulls are definitely more apelike.

Assuming he’s correct, I wouldn’t mind seeing his work on Cro-magnan skulls to see what they look like without anthropomorphism.

I agree Laz, in spite of Nat’l Geographic’s pictorial presentations that tried to make them look much like us, I have always felt that this is what they really looked like.

I’d hope she would tan nude.

There are some old pictures of what they thought Neanderthals looked like about 100 years ago which were much like these. Could big foot be their cousin?

I used to follow these arguments in Scientific America until the magazine became so horiibly biased towards anthropogenic global warming as to be unreadable.

The bias in favor of the "out of Africa", "we are all brother" hypothesis made me conclude that it was undoubtedly a load of Cro-Magnon crap.

The Neanderthals were just another "race" like blacks, whites, etc. They were a bit shorter, stockier, more well muscled, and had essentially the same brain.

The Cro-Magnons, frequently identified as ancestral to the Europeans and Chinese, had a larger brain than modern man, and were a tad taller ~ probably from a better diet based on wild game, nuts, berries and roots.

During the last quarter of the latest period of glacial advance most European, North Asian and East Asian populations were confined to small unglaciated areas called "refugia". Modern populations are descended from these small groups ~ each is differentiated by various minor gene differences.

The Sa'ami seem to have retained many more of the specific differences that identify the Cro-Magnon people and to a degree may better represent the ancestral population of most of the people in the world.

There have been some changes. Southern tribes gave up living on ice and hunting reindeer and seals. They developed agriculture and animal domestication which changed their diet to the far more unhealthy one of bread and boiled beef. This has led to other, less valuable, genetic differentiation.

No. If anything like that were still around, it would be really obvious from all the remains of deer and farm animals lying around.

I admit looking at it is unsettling.

Oh. You'd hit it? That's a surprise. Not.

For all practical purposes you have a Cro-Magnon skull, except it's a bit smaller than required for the heavy lifting.

There are racial differences in hat size. White folks, in general, don't have the biggest hat sizes BTW.
