My wife says so.
Well, there's a first time for everything ;-).
Cirroc: "Thank you! Thank you very much, thank you! First of all, let me say how happy I am to be your nominee for the United States Senate! [ applause ] You know.. thank you.. I don't really understand your Congress, or your system of checks and balances.. because, as I said during the campaign - I'm just a caveman! I fell on some ice, and later got thawed out by scientists. But there is one thing I do know - we must do everything in our power to lower the Capital Gains Tax. Thank you!"
I think I'm part bear.
May I join you in partaking of duck in mango salsa? I find it so "hobbit" forming ;o)
Ain't no monkey MY ancestor!
I'm part sabertooth (Grrrr!)
Discovery ran a special on Neaderthals and the supposed reasons for their demise this weekend.
I don't think it was all that convincing but revealed some interesting new data about them.
My theory is people that like to eat meat like I do must be part Neaderthal.
Those veggie crunching PETA types are probably non-Neaderthals.
Who'd a thunk that he was partially right. /s
Hiya!
Before my hair developed what I call 'highlights' it was red so I guess I am. LOL
I heard about that on another forum. He mentioned a claim that the Neanderthal inner ear wouldn't give them a sense of balance adequate for them to run. So, they existed for 500,000 years and all that time, they couldn't run? Yeah, sure. And a few years back, some veg-heads claimed that the Neanderthal went extinct because he ate too much meat. That ridiculous imbecile who referred to Neanderthal as "the village idiot" claimed that speech was enabled by genes on the mitochondria, and that the Neanderthal's lack of speech led to extinction. :')
Well, cover up, for cryin' out loud.
And then she sez, "is that a brow ridge, or are you just happy to see me?"
The question then is is it a sign of common lineage or a trait that developed seperately, probably as an adaptation to cold weather.Really, a bony ridge is an adaptation to cold weather? Hmm, I wonder...
Neanderthal Man 'never walked in northern Europe'Work by the flamboyant Professor Reiner Protsch von Zieten showed that Neanderthal Man existed in northern Europe. Calculations on skeletal remains found at Hahnofersand, near Hamburg, stated they were 36,000 years old. Yet recent research at Oxford University's carbon-dating laboratory has suggested that they date back a mere 7,500 years. By that time, Homo sapiens was already well-established and the Neanderthals were extinct. Chris Stringer, a Stone Age specialist and head of human origins at London's Natural History Museum, said: "What was considered a major piece of evidence showing that the Neanderthals once lived in northern Europe has fallen by the wayside. We are having to rewrite prehistory." ...Now, however, important remains that Oxford scientists no longer believe are prehistoric include the female "Bischof-Speyer" skeleton, found near the south-west German town of Speyer with unusually good teeth. Their evidence suggests that she is 3,300 years old, not 21,300. Another apparent misdating involved an allegedly prehistoric skull discovered near Paderborn in 1976 and considered the oldest human remain ever found in the region. Prof von Zieten dated the skull at 27,400 years old. The latest research, however, indicates that it belonged to an elderly man who died around 1750.
