The liberals are direct descendants of what migratory wave?

Doesn't the popular theory of evolution hold that we evolved in water from single cell organisms, then (eventually) into fish and then onto land? Why leave the water if all we really needed was a fine piece o' bass?

I saw a program advancing the aquatic ape theory. One of the more interesting facts cited was that body hair on humans lies in a hydrodynamic direction, while on apes, it sticks straight out of the skin. Also, they noted that there wasn't really a natural change in the hip that would allow the full upright posture. As you say, interesting, but unprovable.

However, climate change seems likely to have reduced the Red Sea's shellfish stocks, driving them to seek better fishing grounds.I have a more plausible theory: youthful searching and the desire some people have to explore. We all know people like that. Hell, my brother and dad are like that.

I've read these sorts of things from time to time. I've read that this is also an explanation for the extra fat on females...they spent more time in the water (protection) than men and needed the fat for warmth. Also, the female long hair tradition gave the kids something to hang on to while they were in the water with mother. (???)

That map is sooo cool Blam, I'd lost my link to it. Our history imbedded in our DNA is so amazing. I suspect a lot of people don't know about this yet.

There could be something to this theory. A Long John Silver was recently unearthed in rural Wyoming....

The fascinating thing about the "Journey of Mankind" animation is the interaction between population and climate. I think we're a lot better off with a warmer climate.
