Maybe the Neanderthals "free traded" their technology, wealth, and production to the developing tribes of humans. After thousands of years the dummies are still getting snookered by people with more brains. This time the Chi-coms. Go figure.

"Anthropologists have considered a wide range of factors which may explain Neanderthal extinction, including biological, environmental and cultural causes."

They may have considered a wide range of factors, but they are totally ignorant of the Bible.

It has a very interesting passage on what has to be a pre-Adamic man.

You wouldn't expect the modern anthropologist to know such things because his overriding agenda is to prove that God does not exist.

Neanderthal probably died out because he was adapted to a cold climate, as indicated by his physical morphology. When the glaciers receded he couldn't adapt to the rigors of the new environment and many of his accustomed game animals died out. That's the best I can do. But I doubt very seriously that it had anything to do with free trade.

probably unprotected clubbing, much like the gays of today; just a different type of clubbing

I would not be surprised if there is still a little Neanderthal in all of us.

LOL!

Despite the 3" of rain yesterday, we had almost 300 people at the garden center's open house. I was stunned that many folks - hard-core gardeners - came out. Usually, we get around 1,500 or so.

Neanderthals, in contrast, lived in “largely unorganised” living spaces.

Hmmmmpf... So do I...

I think the decline of the Neanderthals began the day they first began to sue each other over disputed kills, then the loser expected welfare meat.

Because they predate the Chinese.

Redheads are Neanderthal

Excuse me, aren't most Orangutans red haired? I suspect the gene for red hair goes back a bit farther than the Neanderthals. In fact we once had a horse (pony actually) who was a nice shade of copper/red, we called him "Little Red" (he was also very small, barely legal in Shetland class) in contrast to the "Big Red" who play about a mile from the fairgrounds where we most often showed "Little Red".

But he adds that most theories are reliant on guesswork.

Okay! Then here's my guess...They probably started to practise abortion and....They rest is history.

I can't vouch for "most Orangutans," but the few I've known very well sure looked good at closing time.
In fact I'd have sworn they weren't Orangutans.
They turned out, upon close examination of their evidence, to be not real redheads.
