"Thanks for posing the Neanderthal Theory, blam. I hadn’t read that before, and it’s a fascinating theory. That’s why I’m addicted to these threads, they open to such interesting possibilities."

You're welcome. A few years back, I read every word on every link in that article. JimRob won't let me post it as a stand-alone article. That was the only post I ever made that got pulled...wouldn't explain why either.

The only thing I can think of is the article's frank discussion of the possible differences in sexual practices between Neanderthals and homo sapiens.

BTW, the Zana story was fascinating. Why couldn't some very isolated Neanderthal groups survive to recent times?

The thing I always thought was odd was that Genesis was written by Jews, but Christians don’t believe Jews when they say what it means.

Looks like the 'Hobbits' on Flores survived up to about 12k years ago. I'm presently reading the book, A New Human about the Hobbits and the author says these guys are more ancient than Homo-Erectus or Neanderthals. The next chapter in the book is titled: Out Of Asia. Could get interesting.

BTW, human artifacts on Flores date to 840,000 years ago.

What, 44 posts and none of them are a photo of Helen Thomas?

Sure raises some interesting questions!

“And the point of doing this would be?”

To annoy creationists?

[gcruse]

840,000 or 84,000?

“Homo Floresiensis (Flores Man) who lived 93000 B.C. to 10000 B.C. is discovered “

[Revelation 911]

The thing I always thought was odd was that Genesis was written by Jews, but Christians don’t believe Jews when they say what it means.

You mean it doesnt deal with Gods omnipotence and Creation, Retribution theology, Original sin and the lineage of Noah ?

hey - the NT was written by Jews - and they still don't beleieve it

Reconstructing Caveman DNA. It’s So Easy, Even An Anthropologist Can Do It.

Maybe this should be done. If we regress 40,000 years or 200,000,000 and reboot from there our descendants [literally] might get it right this time.
