Esau was covered with red hair all over and was a good hunter.

Genesis

“23”: And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

“24”: And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

“25”: And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

“26”: And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.

“27”: And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.

Really. Blond wooly mammoths. That was the coolest idea brought up in the article. I want one now. How’s that Japanese guy doing with his cloning of mammoths? I haven’t heard anything about that for years.

The old-style URLs sometimes work, sometimes don’t. I think the new software just has a little owie in it, nothing serious. It was out a few weeks, then it worked for a little while, then when I tried it again, that error you showed. Bummed. Of course, the Wayback Machine still has all or most of them.

Must we go through this same name-calling exercise over and over again?? Yes! I admit it! I am a Neanderthal!
