Ping. Busy week for geico.
I think we have one of these in the white hut.
I used to work with a couple of Russian Neanderthals.
I think that some day, we will stumble on information that Neanderthals survived much, much later than 30,000 years ago, much like the amazing Hobbit discovery a few years ago.
All the physical characteristics used to describe Neanderthals are still present in humans worldwide today.
As an example, some Australian Aboriginies have more severe brow ridges than did Neanderthals.
I don’t really understand how Neanterdals aren’t considered human, but we can breed with them. About the only difference between the two is skull shape.
If you look at African skulls, or Asian skulls or Caucasion skulls, they also differ in shape, but I don’t think anybody here question that Africans or Asians or Caucasions are not human.
Everything else between the two groups are identical or very nearly so.
30,000 years isn’t that long ago. Maybe they were wiped out by the muzzies.
Klitschko the boxers?:)
Neanderthals survived much later than 31,000BC. Read Beowulf. Michael Crichton had it right in “13th Warrior.”
