Soliton is a finalist to be selected to the most original amateur Buffalo wing sauce at the National Buffalo Wing Festival on Labor Day.

Soliton. Although he is not speaking in the first person, he is humbled by his making it this far, and confident that it will go no farther because of my stance on ID and the Shroud of Turin.

the finding sheds light on what made us, as Khaitovich put it, 'so strange compared to other animals.'"

What could it be that sets us apart? Whatever could it be? Oh! I know! Cooking!

If the world began again...."Learning" in the same type of environment would just repeat itself...

What life does require is stimulation and the world is full of that.

MAN searches beyond the "seen". That's where animals stop.

"For a long time, humans were pretty dumb, doing little but make 'the same very boring stone tools for almost 2 million years,' says Philipp Khaitovich of the Partner Institute for Computational Biology in Shanghai. Then, 150,000 years ago, our big brains suddenly got smart. We started innovating.

We pay a huge price for our big brains and arrested development. Sort of counter-darwinian-intuitive to suggest that we developed a much bigger brain than required and then all of a sudden found uses for it.

Sort of like a Cheetah developming on an island where its only prey are sloths.

That’s one heck of an accomplishment, I’d love to taste Soliton’s sauce (or is it baked in?). How soon before we can start speaking of Soliton in the first person again?

In fact, Soliton’s Buffalo wing sauce is a descendent of mead. The truth cannot be more clear.

Are brains smart, or are those with brains smart?

This article is so poorly worded it's not worth commenting on.

But good luck with the sauce, Soliton!

“our big brains suddenly got smart”

all of a sudden.

for no particular reason.

What an intelligent notion. Why, we see examples like this in nature all the time.

This makes good sense because while I am waiting for my steaks to cook on the grill, I am usually in my lawn chair reading a book. Now if I had to go out and hunt my meat with a spear and eat it raw, I probably wouldn’t have much time for reading.

Total bunk. Some secularist’s wet dream fantasy.

Yer not allowed to expect the Buffalo Wing Inquisition, surprise being one of their chief weapons and all.

Standing on an id sounds uncomfortable. I prefer to stand on my ego. : - )

Best wishes on the wings. Do those ancestors proud!

We started innovating. We tried different materials. We started creating art and maybe even religion.

Interesting… The theory of gravitation doesn’t deal with ‘stories’ about ‘religion and art’ but we always read that evolution and the theory of gravitation should be taught side by side as factual based science. It seems to me that there are actual differences between these two theories when one theory does discuss the actual formation of ‘religion and art’ as related to another ultimately mindless adaptation in the animal world.

BTW, I have won many local chili cook offs and even placed regionally (St. George Island, Fl) and it has always been a lot of fun. Good luck with the Buffalo wing sauce you created.

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve
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." [pp 126-127]
