“Pawdon me, but might you have some Grey Poupon?”

ooog...ooooooggg....uugooggoooog

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

have 4 large breasts to deal with the standard baby load.

I am pretty sure that none of the higher primates have more than two breats, in fact only some lemurs and no monkeys or apes have more than two breasts.

[muawiyah]

None of the higher apes live outside in winter in Northern Europe either!

Few bear twins ~ ever.

This would be a regular thing, with each birth resulting in 2 or more. You have to have more teets if you have 2 or more offspring every single time.

Check out your family dog ~ count the teets. Now, next time she has a litter, count the puppies.

Strange, eh ~ more teets, more babies.

[Nervous Tick]

What a coincidence.

On occasion, when I get carried away and “use language”, Mrs. Tick calls me a Neanderthal.

while females were 5 feet tall but heavily built

Bertha...Bertha Butt...one of the Butt sisters....

The ability to talk doesn’t indicate intelligence. Just look at out politicians.

[live+let_live]

Remember the old Jim Croce song, “Roller Derby Queen”?

“She was five foot six, two fifteen,
a bleach blonde bomber with a streak of mean.”

[Drammach]

Scientists who have been trawling through the DNA found in Neanderthal bones have discovered that the now extinct species had a “language gene” that is only found in modern humans.

Contradiction there.
If it was found in Neanderthal, then it isn't found "only in modern humans"..

[genefromjersey]

First recorded speech: “Not tonight, Ugg ! I’ve got a headache.”

[Savage Beast]

"Neanderthals were in fact capable of speech..."

Great Caesar's Ghost! Would that they were not! The homoSAPIENS (!) are so sick and tired of the Neanderthal blather roaring from the Mainstream Newsmedia, Hollywood, and American universities--all of which are dominated by Neanderthals--that we could SCREAM!

BTW, what on earth makes Richard Gray think Neanderthals are extinct??? They're all around us!

[Pontiac]

Until recently common scientific opinion has painted a picture of Neanderthals as a slow and dim-witted species that was outwitted by its smarter cousins who went on to become modern humans while the Neanderthals died out.

It is now the common consensus among scientist that the Neanderthals were Democrats thus explaining their extinction.

"Neanderthals may have had their own culture"

No kidding - and now they're all in Berkeley . This guy is their Congressman.

Hey! I just noticed, he kinda looks like this guy....



(Give the top guy a shave and some glasses and they could be brothers.)

“She was five foot six, two fifteen,

Sounds like the Hildabeast.

'Neanderthals may have had their own culture'

Well, thanks ... we try.

[ProCivitas]

And, of course, we always try to speak highly of you.

[ProCivitas]

"Died off just 10,000 yeas after modern man arrived in Europe."

I beg your pardon? Well, that's just rude.

[fish hawk]

Of course they did. How do you think they got their own TV series?
