“HA HA! Neanderthal. Can’t make fire” - The Far Side

[Repeal The 17th]

I thought there was some inbreeding between Neanderthal
and Cro-Magnon, meaning “they” are still with us today...
But I want to hear what Blam has to say about it.

Wait a sec, how was there climate change back before we had cars? This doesn’t make sense... /s

So what we are saying...is that Yurg and Randy couldn’t survive in a world with each other...so Yurg had to go?

What about evolution? Couldn’t Yurg just evolve? Couldn’t we just turn up the old Yurg and make him a better and improved Yurg? Are we saying that Yurg was just a loser and couldn’t make it in a modern world?

I think we are looking at discrimination.....clearly here. No doubt. If only Yurg had real rights and marriage rights....he might have survived on...maybe. What we haven’t said here or hinted at....is that Yurg might have been a Prop-Eight kinda guy and he kinda non-produced himself out of existence.

I'm just not buying it. There is no evidence that the availability of resources in the nutrient rich environment resulted in the disappearance of the Neanderthal, let alone to suggest that a shortage was the result of over hunting by competing populations.

"Study shows competition, not climate change, led to Neanderthal extinction"

Conclusion: We must do away with all forms of competition, specially the free enterprise system!

But wait... isn't that what the "Globull Warming" hoaxers are all about?

“eventual disappearance of Neanderthal populations, which occupied Europe prior to the arrival of human populations like us around 40,000 years ago.”

Blame it on the Neanderthal’s lack of secure borders.

“an approach typically used to study the impact of climate change on biodiversity.”

They THINK! They don’t really KNOW! They just wanna get paid. Of what importance is this? Money could be spent much more wisely.

I think that at least some of the inbreds are employed at our local newspaper, The Times Reporter in New Philadelphia, Oh.

Our early Homo sapien ancestors survived the ice ages better than the Neanderthals, resulting in our dominance of Earth today, say scientists in Discovery magazine.

Quite simply, our caveman cousins had better tools and brains for securing food and shelter. Plus the Homo sapiens were built better anatomically to survive the freezing ice-age temperaturtes. Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens competed for dominance until about 30,000 years ago when the Neanderthals went extinct.

Homo sapiens had the latest high-tech tools, including warm clothing made of fur, enclosed shelters and effective weapons to kill and ensnare animals and fish. Specialized projectile weaponry like javelins and spearthrowers also increased the range to effectively kill animals.

Neanderthals, meanwhile, mostly hunted with spear in hand. This decreased their effective hunting range, especially in winter when animals were scarce and hunting was more difficult.

Because the Neanderthals literally didn’t “bring home the bacon” that meant less food and fewer calories to burn in ice-age temperatures when those calories were needed for survival.

In the end, the Homo sapien brain and superior body simply out-competed Neanderthal brute force.
