Neanderthals may have lived side by side with early humans and possibly interbred with them, according to new research.

Stone axes and sharp flint arrowheads of both branches of the human race have been discovered in limestone caves in northern Israel.

The findings, reported in the Times, have led archeologists to believe the two sub-species found harmony in a coastal mountain range that today is in a state of war with its neighbours...

I think that is still the case in the Middle East.

What an absolutely stupid statement. "They may have" means absolutely nothing.

But there's tons of Grant Money always available and "inventing questions" is how you get it.

Looks like someone has been reading “Clan of the Cave Bear”.

The Genesis account suggests before Noah’s Flood, that the Sons of God were marrying the daughters of men. Gensis 6 verse 2.....maybe these so called findings will give more understanding to this pasage.

I disagree.

I view this passage in the same way that I see Christians marrying non-Christians, for the same various reasons that people marry.

Marrying a non-Christian compromises one’s ability to practice their faith freely, without compromises. It draws away people from their faith and, quite often, the children of mixed unions become non-believers.

The Palestinian branch of the subspecies needs to get back in tune. The music can't be heard over the explosions.

That is exactly how free trade got started, one culture knew how to make arrows to hunt with and went on hunts to kill meat.

The other culture knew how to make axes and chop wood so they started trading those things and they got by real good until a socialist came along and set up a college and started teaching that what they were doing was all wrong.

Now both of them are extinct.

Complaining that the successful gatherers were taking too many of the berries, and that they should turn their ill-gotten spoils over to those that stayed in the cave watching American Bandstand.

Right, and maybe if they would pay more attention to the Bible they could get the time line a little closer.

Riiiight.

Because it’s so fun and easy to interbreed species.

Neanderthal were either people or critters, not some half n half thing.
