This is why those people attend rallies against globalization. They are neanderthals, and know that globalization will make them extinct.

Modern humans may have driven Neanderthals to extinction 30,000 years ago because Homo sapiens unlocked the secrets of free trade, say a group of US and Dutch economists.

and that is awaiting liberals and their stooopid agenda! What, the group of the eco-no-mists have nothing better to do? Like they miss the Neandertalberals as customers? Go and dig some out.

Neanderthals, in contrast, lived in “largely unorganised” living spaces.

and then they joined communist party and extincted themselves. Shheeeesh! They spoend money on this crap?

[Mike Darancette]

I have always believed that disease transmitted by modern man killed off the Neanderthals.

Wheeeere is da beef?

“It’s an intriguing and novel idea,” says Delson. “But it requires stronger support.”

What it requires is evidence. Sometimes, I get annoyed with people coming up with 'ideas' that cannot be tested, and then saying, "see, see, it all makes sense now."

Stonehenge, for example. It is generally assumed that it was a place of great worship, due to the alignment of the openings with the positions of the sun. By that analogy, everybody that lives in northern latitudes is a sun worshipper. Evidence? We build our houses with windows on the southern exposure.

Maybe I just woke up grumpy or something, but I cannot accept that an entire species of man was made extinct because they didn't know how to work the stock market.

The redheads are still here.

Maybe this is why Willie doesn't like free trade: maybe he sympathizes too much with the Neanderthals.

Is the red head link handy?

Supervolcanoes, disease, pandemics, global climate changes etc etc etc? Economics? Doubt it, but an interesting read, anyway. Good post, FF.

Never mind sir, I found it on your links page.

Redheads are Neanderthal

[Clemenza]

And it will finish off our modern day neanderthals as well. Survival of the fittest!

Homo sapiens became the original free traders... the Neaderthals became the original Dead Heads.

They are geneologists.
