I believe that Neanderthals were assimilated with modern humans. We are Neanderthals.

The Neanderthals were around for 250,000 years, I think they could handle the cold.

Big chill killed off the Neanderthals

Then who was that guy screaming at the Iowa caucus?

Interesting read here:

The Neanderthal Theory

[anniegetyourgun]

I don't believe that for a moment, but I am hoping that whatever climate change is in vogue now will lead to the extinction of liberals.

Perhaps they suffered a fashion/grooming trend and began trimming away the excess body hair... Oh, the vanity!

It is surprising "the extent to which Neanderthals seem to have been deterred by the cold, and retreated as the going got tough," says archaeologist William Davies, a co-editor of the report based at University of Southampton, UK.

And this genius scientist would have stayed there. Makes more sense to me to follow the food as it moved south.

"Big chill killed off the Neanderthals"

Yep, if you do it right it does every time. hehe

[RightWhale]

Didn't they find neanderthal remains in the Middle East?

Well, I'm just glad they stopped blaming Bush for this.

Cold glacial periods were punctuated by warmer times, and the average temperature could rise and fall several degrees within a decade or so.

So. Warming is a normal deal, then? Too bad those 'thallers didn't have the good old U. S. of A. to send the bill to back then, like they do now. If having a thick head is a sign of Neanderthalism, then I know where they are hanging out these days -- there is no one more thickheaded than a liberal, and especially those who waste our time and money trying to stop the warming that ended the ice age.

I agree,wholeheartedly !

I've seen people -Arnold Schwartzneger is one - with the anthopoid physical characteristics one might associate with the Neanderthal variety of humans.

The Neandrthals aren't extinct. ther are acutally quite a few of them left. They mingle among humans and generally live in the larger human cities. I've seen them' most people probably have and just didn't realize it. They usually live in the slums of the large cities, stay out of sight most of the time during the day, are found lurking in the back alleys and decayed areas of the largest cities. Next time you're out for a walk in these one of areas, especially after dark (best time is on the warmer, foggy nights), look closely: They're there, you'll see them.

[dc-zoo]

Would that be "global chillin"?

[Citizen Tom Paine]

I don't believe this. My reason: On the average the Neanderthal had a LARGER brain that H. Sapien did (and does). In short, they had enough smarts.

[txhurl]

There you are. Hey, caldera-dude, come check this out Is California Heating up?

[bert]

This article ignores the Neanderthals living side by side with Moderns in Isreal for thousands of years. If they made it there, it seems they escaped the cold.

I believe that Neanderthals were assimilated with modern humans. We are Neanderthals.

Geneticists describe the neanderthal as a separate species from us and as an evolutionary dead end. DNA test showed them to be enough different from us that crossbreeding would not have even been possible. I would guess that our ancestors got tired of looking at them and killed them all.

I think the deluge of Noah got them.
