Score one more for Neanderthals.
A new study has found that Neanderthal brains grew at much the same rate as modern human brains do, knocking down the idea that they grew faster in a style considered more primitive.

Fount of youth ping.
Wonder if the more liberal ones were always smaller?
I guess that explains Obama referring to “New Pennsylvania”.
Take your vitamin B-12!
Yeah, I saw that. At the age of 63 that might be a good idea. Did I mention that I saw that?
Good to see the caveman finally gettin’ some respect.

The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

I don’t see how that could be. We have Neanderthals today, but they’re disguised as Liberals. I don’t think their brains have matured at all.
Fron the article: "Zollikofer and a team of researchers led by Marcia Ponce de León ..."
I wondered if that would be noticed.
You’re a Special Agent?
Apparently a Secret Special Agent too.
You hadn't noticed that I don't post articles to FR anymore?
I did indeed notice a dearth of blaminations. What that might mean is not my business to know but thought it well to ping you.
Thank you.
