Probably had more industry than current day Detroit. Definitely fewer devolved savages.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Cavemen feasted on LionsIf I was out looking for something to make my world-famous Hasenpfeffer and a big cat tried to eat me and, hey, I defended myself, the next logical step would be "Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste".

SunkenCiv,
I’ve looked on the ‘net for a summary of this story and came up empty. Could you please provide one? Thanks.

From about 4,000 BC:
Egyptian Makeup for Lips and Face For beautifying their faces, ancient Egyptians used the following:
l Ceruse. This was a white lead pigment they used to lighten their faces.
l Fat. They used goose or bear fat as wax base in adding pigments.
http://www.eye-make-up-tips.com/makeup/makeup-beauty-tips/ancient-egyptian-makeup.aspx l Red ochre. They used this type of red clay for adding colour to their lips and cheeks.
l Wine. The dregs from wine were used as their form of ancient lipstick.
l Chalk. Chalk was also used to whiten the face.
Egyptian make up was all about a white face, dark brows and lashes, and nice, red lips.

Oh sure, lure me into even more peril. It's all Greek (so to speak) to me.

The guys that did this were likely world class entrepreneur's at the time. I wonder what they traded all that pigment for. They were obviously making a lot more than they needed for personal use.... They were obviously very smart guys and likely passed on a lot of genes.
To: SunkenCiv
That’s right. They were probably using the ochre for war paint so this was the military-industrial complex at work.
