They also played canasta, took they Scotch neat, and always said “quite”

I believe they founded the Labour Party, didn’t they?

But, did Neanderthals give equal rights to same-sex couples, and did they limit their carbon footprints? And what about that hunting; did they use only properly registered weapons, and remember to use trigger locks when not in use?

****It provides a snapshot of a thriving, developing population – rather than communities on the verge of extinction.***

As history repeats itself - in the 21st Century!

That Hanover clan always looked a little cave mannish to me.

I’m not sure how they can say these are late Neanderthal tools and not early human tools.

"...The impression they give is of a population in complete command of both landscape and natural raw materials with a flourishing technology - not a people on the edge of extinction.”

And then Uggore convinced them that they were going to destroy the world by chipping it all away. A cap-and-trade tax was imposed on flint. Without spear and arrowheads, with no knives or fire strikers they huddled in their caves, naked, cold and hungry until the end came.

And evil homo-republicanus laughed. The end.
