Hmmm...dad was from Calabria.

[decimon]

Advance and be recognized ping.

This guy makes some bold statements regarding the nature of Neanderthals.

[oyez]

There are plenty of them in Washington.

[BigEdLB]

Who says Neanderthals were more advanced?

[Inappropriate Laughter]

Riel-Salvatore rejects the theory that they were exterminated by modern humans. Homo sapiens might simply have existed in larger groups and had slightly higher birthrates, he said.

And now they're gone. See what happens when you don't have good immigration controls.

[Hoodat]

So simple that even Joe Biden can do it.

[muawiyah]

There are modern groups of humans that have a built in population control ~ although some males have exceedingly successful sperm, the aggregate population suffers from a 50% rate of indeterminate infertility.

The Neanderthals could well have suffered the same problem, and could also be the source of this problem in modern populations.

Some say that my grandfather was the first in the clan and that area of the Highlands to walk erect!

[decimon]

So simple that even Joe Biden can do it.

I don't know about that. Looks like he missed his nose with his finger.

[humblegunner]

Damn right.

[decimon]

Some say that my grandfather was the first in the clan and that area of the Highlands to walk erect!

To walk erect in the Highlands is to fall downhill, no?

[Dem Guard]

Biden said he was “second” in line to the presidency the other day!

[James C. Bennett]

Would eating a neanderthal constitute as cannibalism?

[decimon]

Biden said he was “second” in line to the presidency the other day!

Obama must be first in line. Or Biden intends to defer to Pelosi. Or Biden's lost it completely.

[patton]

Don’t be racist - I AM a neanderthal.

[Dem Guard]

Biden quotes could be a resource to make up impossible cross word puzzles.

[patton]

Biden is the opposite of a Neanderthal -

Neanders have
-Red Hair
-Bony brow ridges
-Too many teeth
-20% more brain mass

A neander would use biden to wipe his @aa with.

[Slehn]

Neanderthals more advanced than urban dwellers in the year 2010!

Thanks decimon. Time once again for... 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."
