Neanderthals made mammoth jerky

I thought they used bronze cans back then.

It doesn't matter (but I think you're right) The Neanderthals died because they foolishly canned their jerky, when can openers themselves wouldn't be invented for several more millennia.

Neanderthal girls are easy...

Couldn't they figure out a twist top? <>

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks decimon for indulging me by hunting down this article and posting it. :') Thanks for the ping. And thanks also, a fool in paradise, for the ping. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. "Oh, no, not this again, 'Civ." "Hey, the article mentions teethmarks." The Neandertal Enigma by James Shreeve in local libraries Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe."

So easy a caveman could do it.

Jerking mammoths does not sound like a fun activity to me.

“Necessity compelled Neanderthals to wear tailored clothing and dry hunks of big game meat”

Hell, that’s what makes me do it.

[BJClinton]

Necessity compelled Neanderthals to wear tailored clothing

Or in my case a court order.

If you had the choice of mating with Raquel Welch or a Neanderthal chick who would you pick? No wonder they died out.

Mammoth told me there’d, nope, can’t do that old joke again...

Neither does this...

Now that would qualify as a true s$!t storm, non metaphorically speaking.
