Thanks rdl6989.

I tried to read the words, really, I tried; but my eyes kept crossing . . . LOL

[txnativegop]

This picture is wrong in so many ways . . .

Homo erectus split into Neanderthal and Peking man.

Wouldn't that be Beijing Man now, or hasn't he stopped Peking?

Don we now our gay apparel

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol

Fa la la la la la la la la.

And if you should suffer from a Erectus lasting more than eight hours . . .

The shells have been stored in a museum for 100 years, so how do we know someone hasn’t been messing around with them?

[Monkey Face]

I tried to read this but kept getting stuned by the barbs in almost every post. I had to leave my desk... *snort*

[Tenacious 1]

I was gonna write something funny... but... ahhh... well..... Nevermind. It's been covered.

That picture proves beyond a doubt that they were smarter than modern man.
Or, they were drawing pictures of the Egyptian pyramids before they were built.
Or, it's a prediction of man caused globull warming and the tidal waves about to kill us all
for being sinners of the Gaya cult. Wow, they were smart.

[Boogieman]

Usually, items stored in a museum are catalogued, so there should be a description verifying what the shells looked like 100 years ago to see if anything has changed.

Homo Scamtus

who was it who first told Carol to Troll Ancient The Yuletide anyway?

[Fresh Wind]

Yes, that’s proof that cavemen started the KKK.

So, it wasn’t the Democrat party after all.

Here's one of the examples of the Home Erectus art:

Sublime!

I wondered when somebody would get this discussion headed in the right direction.

...how do we know someone hasn’t been messing around with them?

If that was the case the scratches would be fresh rather than weathered?

This is going to stir up the “when did we really become human?” debate. In short it has been a whole lot longer than the “language began 60,000 years ago crowd”. I’ve always thought that it was certainly strange to we should have waited a million years after we became physically able to speak to actually talk. That’s counter intuitive and begs the question “Why was the hyoid bone selected if not to use?”
