Geoduck clams. Very popular in the Seattle area (I swear). Don’t know about Frisco...

"Giant clams two feet long might have helped feed prehistoric humans..."

Well, if the Indians helped feed the Pilgrims and we see what happened to them, is it really that far of a stretch?????......

See post #6. You probably skipped past it before it downloaded.

Yeah...I posted before reading the thread...lol. For some reason that comic has stuck in my head since I first saw it. I have been known to utter that phrase...Clams got legs!...and chuckle to no one in particular at dinners and buffets. Much to the worried concern of those around.

But occasionally...someone else will know the joke and reply...Now we have to kill you!

The neandertals fed them to the clams.

We still eat giant clams in the south pacific, although the really giant ones are rare now because they’re just so delicious.

If early humans gobbled them up then that would explain why.

You don’t have to believe in evolution to comprehend that Elaine Morgan is probably right in thinking that humans originally lived in water.

Paleontologists and evolutionary biologists think that Morgan's ideas are both unsupported and silly, and generally ignore them.
