Chew on this for a while:

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
in local libraries

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]

	Gods Graves Glyphs	No, no, let me do it. I had some errands to run, and wanted to head to Blues on the Mall (first visit to it in eight or nine years), so the many, many interesting topics which could have been posted have languished until now. And I'm only posting like maybe one more of 'em, then heading to bed. Long day tomorrow, Friday off, working Saturday, sort-of plans Sunday, Monday off, twelve hour days next week. Not that big a deal, you may say, but I am a lazy, lazy man. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

'Modern humans brought illnesses they could survive themselves, but for Neanderthals they were deadly,' Sørensen said.

Then what kept neanderthal diseases from wiping US out??

It’s my mother. I’ll put her on speaker.

First the neanderthals, then the American Indians....

“...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]”

So, the great mystery is solved. Modern Humans left europe and came to America. The neanderthals stayed put in europe.

This also explains the hatred of european ‘philosophers’ of the not so distant past and their obsessive hatred of all things modern and their undying belief that Americans were uniquely guilty of being egregiously modern.

Post Modernism is, then, an attempt to bring the neanderthalians back to a position of cultural supremacy.

In this case, Liberalism is a desease carried by Democrats that threatens to wipe us out.

Disposing of the Neanderthals. So easy a cave man could do it . . . .

Ward Churchill looks more like a Neanderthal than an Indian. Maybe he can found a Neanderthal Studies department. Yea, that's it. Homo Sapiens brought the Neanderthals down with smallpox blankets!
