Why don’t they blame the sun instead of the son of Bush#1?

Those thoughtless industrialized Cro-Magnons should have used more carbon offsets.

SUV’s, not the sun. Repeat in the morning and rinse.

I thought SUVs caused massacres, not global warming?

So, what kind of SUVs did the Neanderthals drive that drove them to extinction?

Inquiring minds want to know (says the proud owner of a Honda SUV).

GGG Ping.

The Last Glacial Maximum was one of the coldest (if not the coldest) times during the entire Ice Age.

Last Glacial Maximum

"The Last Glacial Maximum refers to the time of maximum extent of the ice sheets during the last glaciation (the Würm or Wisconsin glaciation), approximately 20,000 years ago. The conditions of the Last Glacial Maximum persisted for probably two thousand years. At this time, all of Northern Europe, almost all of Canada and the northern half of the West Siberian Plain were covered by huge ice sheets extending roughly to the southern boundary of the Great Lakes in North America and to a line from the mouth of the Rhine River through Kraków, Moscow up to the mouth of the Anabar River in Russia."

My DNA indicates that my relatives spent the LGM in the Franco-Iberian refuge.

Nah.

Neanderthals went extinct ‘cause they was ugly.

All the cave girls wanted to make out with them there pretty-looking Cro-Magnum type guys without the bulging forehead and curved back, and the ugly Neanderthals couldn’t get dates.....

Plus, the Cro-Mag’s probably could speak, and wiped out the Nead’s by coordinating attacks and defenses.

I anxiously await the first discovery of a fossilized Hummer.

I thought NT didn’t have curved backs — that was a mistake made b/c the early complete skelton of a NT was an old man.

Cold, arid and highly variable climate was the least favourable weather for Neanderthals and 24,000 years ago they had to face the worst weather conditions in the last 250,000 years.

So, global cooling did them in?

That was discovered after the orderly in the old folks home accidently passed out viagra, instead of laxatives.

Hello, they aren't extinct.
Don't you ever watch the GEICO commercials?

Looks like wide shoulder that could throw a hell of a punch (or spear).

***Spanish scientists point at climate changes as the cause of the Neanderthal extinction in the Iberian Peninsula***

Well, It is my understanding that of all the items found in their caves the one thing missing is the common bone needle.

So, either the Neandertals were covered with a coat of hair like an ape or they didn’t have the understanding to make clothes out of skins leading them to be froze to death.

First they invented the wheel, and then the Neanderthal SUV, and look where it got them.
