Because THEY TASTE LIKE CHICKEN!Funny you should say that! He caught a big turtle ( Not sure what kind, but it had 3 stripes on either side) and he killed it with his knife and then dropped it,still in the shell,onto the fire.
After it was cooked, he chopped the blackened shell away and pulled out some big straps of turtle meat.
Then he said, "And it really does taste just like chicken!"

The sad thing is, for those who only took it, it satisfied the chemistry requirement for many of the life sciences majors.That confirms my worst fears. I once tutored someone who took something like "Chemistry for Divinity Students".
It was just a way of paying, getting it out of the way, and forgetting it.

I agree, if they are unidentified species then how can they claim 50,000 of them go extinct? And of course, how many go extinct with no assistance from humans?
We don't know and the libs don't know. It just makes good copy for the anti-human, enviro-religious types. Humans make up the only species that constantly regret their own actions and their very existance.

Clearly Homo sapiens caused the caveman extinction.They did not.

If it was never identified, that makes it soooo much easier to claim it went extinct.
"Do you see any frecked green bazongas?" "No, what's that?" "Aha! They are already extinct!"

(paraphrase)”We don’t know they’re there. We haven’t identified them. But we know they are dying off and mankind is killing them.”
Is that about it? Should I give this more than 10 seconds of my attention?

At that rate only two lower life forms will be left — the cockroach and the liberal.

I’ve been a vegetarian for about 30 years, so I don’t know. But it all LOOKS like chicken to me. :)

Do they take Physics, Calculus, and Chemistry?
I can tell you one course they don't take, and that's statistics. But I'll bet they take Grant Applications I, II, III and IV! ;-)

Thanks. Let the reparations begin.
I wouldn't put it past some stooges to try it.
Global warming deniers should snag the Gieco cavemen to impart and educate the populace on the Global warming hoax. They could have that effect without calling it a hoax. Also, they could do mortal combat with the enviro-whackos.
It's like shooting fish in a barrel. Too easy.
Interviewer: Tell us caveman, how does today's world stack up to that of your early ancestors?
What's he going to say? "You want me to say that modern man's technology is causing tremendous harm and hardship for the hunter-gather caveman. Cavewoman and cave-children hit hardest."
Caveman: Yeah right! Like that's goanna happen -- NOT! Sipping mint-juleps poolside is such a hardship. Where do you people come from?!
