They couldn't talk. Oh wait! Yes they could. They ate too much meat and no fish. Oh wait! They ate fish. Ad hominem ad nauseum.
The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
Frayer'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]

They came into contact with the same alien vehicle that Quaterman did in “Quaterman and the Pit” and destroyed all the Neanderthals...

I thought contemporary science rejected one of the two of these “cave men”.

Just more self-loathing from the humans. Surely there’s no ill that has befallen this planet that those evil humans didn’t bring about.

Please forgive me. It’s dark now, the hot tub put me in a silly space and here it is:

(I’ll be fine tomorrow)

“compared to people who haven’t spent much time hurling.....”

I really thought I had some super witty response to that quote, but sadly, I can’t stop laughing long enough to type it.

Good night all!

Nova did a documentary on the mystery of who was the Neandrathal:

Neanderthals on Trial

In 1856, bones of an unrecognizable hominid turned up in Germany’s Neander Valley. This early human and others like it—sturdy, large-headed individuals—came to be known as Neanderthals. Despite a century and a half of study and debate, Neanderthals remain an enigma. Were they our ancestors, or an evolutionary dead-end? Were they assimilated into early modern (Cro Magnon) populations, or were they wiped out en masse in a Pleistocene genocide? “Neanderthals on Trial” investigates this long-standing mystery.

Judging from the answers Obama supporters have given to a Zogby poll done after the election, I’d say that the Meanderthals are alive and well, though extremely ignorant (that hasn’t changed over time).

“Human aerial bombardments might have pushed Neanderthals to extinction...”

So this is not the first time that the thinking man/woman had known how important it was to eliminate the libs.

Today we have much better stones.

Sharia and the stoning of women in Iran


Photo : this woman is burried up to her waist in preparation for her stoning to death.

Hajiyeh Esmaelvand was killed in such a manner in December 2004. She was accused of adultery. She is but one victim of this law of the Sharia.

The stoning of women is practiced in Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.

Human aerial bombardments might have pushed Neanderthals to extinction, suggests new research. Changes in bone shape left by a life of overhand throwing hint that Stone Age humans regularly threw heavy objects, such as stones or spears, while Neanderthals did not...

Maybe they were avid rockball players.

Honestly, what is the point of reading beyond this opening drivel...
