Because someone has a newly minted doctorate.

This new name probably won’t catch on, as it only exists as part of the ongoing denial by diehards that Neandertal isn’t among our ancestors.

Busted. I knew it was Plasticine (but never knew what Plasticine was). I like my version better.

“I wanna see Homo Bodacious.”

I think he is a porn star and goes by the name, Homo Erectus Bodacious.

IIRC.

To: Tell It Right

>> “He that stealeth a man and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.” (quoting Exodus 21:16 as a way to point out how the Creator hates slavery). <<

Looking at the context of the complete chapter

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+21&version=NIV

That passage was about kidnapping and selling a fellow Israelite. Chattel slavery of non-Israelites was accepted.

I think you meant to say that Darwin was a racist.
Not sure how you came up with your weakly remark, or why.

Have to look at this more. Some ancestors were abolitionists and had a station on the Underground Railroad. Detroit, jump off to Windsor, Canada
