So, how does it relate to the trousers worn with the belt just above the knees?

Violence has more to do with what is between our ears than how long our legs are.

a squat physique and stance helped the males fight over access to females

This is the sort of thing that drives me crazy. Did they find a fossilized motivation? Squat physique helped them fight? Maybe so. What did they fight over? Women? Bananas? Oysters? Who knows? Let's all make a wild guess and call it science.

God gave us the ability to kick VERY hard and fight better with long legs. Ask Chuck Norris.

Does this mean the french have long legs that enable them to run away faster?

An article yesterday said they also liked big butts. Short legged women with big butts. Works for me.

Hehehehe. I was thinking the same thing about the dimocRATS. That would help them cut and run faster.

Wow look at those very tiny feet.

I wonder how many of these finds are actually built up composites of many creatures. IOW the researcher could be led astray by what he wants to find.

I mean, it is not like that has never happened in this area of science.

Curves Are Better For Stone Age Women

"Female figurines dating back 15,000 years reveal that the preferred body shape for women was curvy with prominent buttocks.

I'll put some FReepers up to that test... *\;-)

I'm glad you found details about YOUR ancestors; I am very happy for you. Mine were created by God; in his own image.

Chuck Norris defines love as the reluctance to murder. If you’re still alive, it’s because Chuck Norris loves you. There is no theory of evolution, just a list of creatures Chuck Norris allows to live.

When Chuck Norris goes to donate blood, he declines the syringe, and instead requests a hand gun and a bucket.
