Well, the women would be uglier...
There is no year zero. It goes from 1 B.C. to 1 A.D.
I also don’t like that absolute certainty unknowables like “How many neanderthals were on the earth 12,000 years ago are asserted.
Can we have that plotted on semi log paper?
That's astonishing...IF true. How could they determine that?
I'm not a big fan of crowds. I go out of my way to avoid crowds. One of my DNA tests tells me I have more Neanderthal DNA than 75% of their customers. I wonder if there's a linkage there?
You might have seen me in the commercials...
Remember how uptight and scared liberals were some 20 years ago when it reached 6 BIL?
Magazine covers and all.
Not that it was a cool milestone, but a fearful prospect.
Everything to liberals is fearful, except any government interference.
Just come to DC and see for yourself...
wait, what about the world wide flood?
Neanderthals were more inclined to

How the hell would you know ?
Where you there ?
So tired of these morons insulting our common sense intelligence.
They weren’t there
They have no possible way of knowing anything they were ‘ inclined’ to do.
Spit.
Interesting to think about, but this article has a lot of conjecture.
The increase in population really began when the smelting of ores and manufacture of metal tools began.
With metal for plowshares and pruning hooks, farmers could increase the amount of food produced far beyond what Neolithic farmers with stone tools could produce.
With metal for swords and spear points, cities could extract the produce from the farmers in their hinterlands and multiply the city populations. Serfdom and slavery became the lot of the rural populations.
It is said that humans are a cancer, but that is not true of pre-urban humans. Only when the city begins is it analogous to a tumor, which penetrates the surrounding tissues and appropriates an excessive amount of resources for its uncontrolled growth.
And cities also send out expeditions to explore other lands, found new cities and exploit new hinterlands, just as cancers emit cells which migrate to other tissues of the organism and metastasize.
The Age of Exploration beginning in the 1400s should really be known as the Age of Metastasis.
Half the world is Chnese.
Good thing they only let`em have one kid per family.
I guess Africans never left the continent so they do not have any Neanderthal DNA in them, unlike the Europeans and Asians.
On which chromosome is that genetic difference? Or is the author just talking out of her ass about it being a genetic disposition rather than a cultural one or not a disposition at all?
Klaus Scwab announces the WEF’s Return to Neanderthal Project, funded by Bill Gates.
The neanderthals and the sapiens disappeared. But the homos abound.
Is this where the Hatfield and Mc Coy thing got started ?
Give them all a square yard to stand in and they’d fit in the land area of Florida 20 times over...
