There is also evidence of an earlier incursion in the Middle East by homo sapiens that was handily defeated by Neanderthals, at a time before homo sapiens had superior weapons and tactice.

We know how brutish people can be but have no idea what was the nature of neandertals.

We’re not suggesting there was a blitzkrieg, with modern humans marching across the land and executing the Neandertals. I want to say that loud and clear.”

Why? Modern man has a track record of doing just that.

According to contemporary reports left by Neanderthal journalists, the peace-loving Neanderthals were attacked by a band of modern humans led by an individual called by the others “Dikchaynee.”

The Neandertals had it coming. They play their music all night long, have no consideration for their neighbors and still haven’t taken their Obama yard signs down.

Whats a cro-magnon to do?

I am not surprised to find out this happened in Iraq! See, this is CONCLUSIVE proof we did not start the chain of violence in the Middle East!

:)

(FYI for the Vancouver Times: This post is a satire. No actual Middle Easterners were harmed in the composition of this post)

Anthropologists have their own kind of political correctness. They tend to deny that there was interspecies violence. Only one kind of hominid survived. It wasn’t because we had higher SAT scores.

Or to put it another way, Humans killed dolphins and seals for eating the same food we did so why not other hominids?

Humans kill dolphins and seals FOR food. They have what we like ~ M E A T ~ the secret ingredient every single time.

Thanks decimon! Best of all, I get to post this one twice in one night:
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]

Not bad.

A degree in archaeology and working on anatomy on the side.

I would say that it takes a lot of faith to make a statement such as Neandertals didn’t use projectile weapons this long after the fact, and with as little evidence as they actually have. Hundreds of thousands of years in existence, and not one of them ever picked up a rock and threw it at a hyena trying to eat its baby?

I don’t think so.
