Big Chill Killed Off The Neanderthals

I believe that Neanderthals were assimilated with modern humans. We are Neanderthals.

The Neanderthals were around for 250,000 years, I think they could handle the cold.

Interesting read here:

The Neanderthal Theory

I don't believe that for a moment, but I am hoping that whatever climate change is in vogue now will lead to the extinction of liberals.

Perhaps they suffered a fashion/grooming trend and began trimming away the excess body hair... Oh, the vanity!

We are NOT!

It is surprising "the extent to which Neanderthals seem to have been deterred by the cold, and retreated as the going got tough," says archaeologist William Davies, a co-editor of the report based at University of Southampton, UK.

And this genius scientist would have stayed there. Makes more sense to me to follow the food as it moved south.

Yep, if you do it right it does every time. hehe

Didn't they find neanderthal remains in the Middle East?

Cold glacial periods were punctuated by warmer times, and the average temperature could rise and fall several degrees within a decade or so.

So. Warming is a normal deal, then? Too bad those 'thallers didn't have the good old U. S. of A. to send the bill to back then, like they do now. If having a thick head is a sign of Neanderthalism, then I know where they are hanging out these days -- there is no one more thickheaded than a liberal, and especially those who waste our time and money trying to stop the warming that ended the ice age.

Interesting. Al-Douri is a redhead.

Could you add me to your ping list? Thanks! :)

[farmfriend]

Consider yourself added. If you ever change your mind, or I get you on the wrong list, just let me know.

Well, I'm just glad they stopped blaming Bush for this.

In this forum, it was Clinton's fault.
