Talk about mixing fruits and nuts
Your disdain for science should have you walking and living like the Amish
Again, Biblical history. Add up the generations up to the birth of Jesus, which was about 2,000 years ago.
No need for name-calling.
Neanderthals had a slightly larger brain capacity than modern humans, made tools and used fire. Apes don't make tools, though they are smart enough to use things at hand to accomplish tasks.
God created them all; it's just a matter of if He went through intermediate forms while doing so, over the six days of creation, which could be a half billion years to a timeless Creator.
The Neanderthal was a very advanced bipedal ape with dark-world eyes and a six inch fur coat. His DNA is roughly halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee and a bit closer to that of the chimp. His brain may have been a bit bigger than ours but it was dominated by the area of the brain associated with vision and that combined with the huge eyes tells us that his brain was to a large extent the neurophysiological equivalent of the circuitry for a military night vision system. Our brains are dominated by the area involved in complex logic.
Just because he posted the article it doesn’t mean he wrote it or believes it. Quit being a noobie.
The Amish live healthy lifestyles in caring communities.
They don't disdain all science, but they won't accept anything which might infringe on their lifestyle or community.
Especially, excuse my French, they don't want a lot of modern...ah... junk in their homes.
That is total rubbish.
There's no evidence of either "dark-world eyes" or a "fur coat".
Neanderthal DNA is so close to ours there is evidence of human to Neanderthal interbreeding, which is impossible with chimpanzees.
It's said that non-African humans carry 2% to 4% Neanderthal DNA and that all-told, more than half of Neanderthal DNA is still present, scattered in humans worldwide.
