they probably forgot to floss for a 100,000 years, and that took its toll.

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]

So who was left to break the wishbone?

“Then there are others who claim that interbreeding between Cro Magnons and Neanderthals would not have been possible.”

Trust me. With enough alcohol, *anything* is possible.

cannibalistic activities and was a form of Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy, or TSE

TSE is not confined to Cannibalism, it affects all Species that eat Meat, including us. It very rarely causes a disease, 1 in a Mill.

Eaten by red heads.

What a way to go.

Frank Perdue used to have ads on televisiohn, selling his Perdue Chickens. He would frequently exclaim “parts is parts” He looked and sounded like H. Ross Perot..

Maybe that’s how they got to look so distorted.

there, fixed it

"Stop it, Stop it!! Stop this cannibalism! Let's have a thread about clean, decent human beings."

[mamelukesabre]

Never heard of that one. I remember a series of wendy’s commercials from about 1984 that used that phrase to criticize the “chicken nuggets” that were being offered in all the burger joints at that time.

Yeah, but isn't the problem that once TSE takes hold in a population that practices cannibalism that it spreads much more efficiently? ie. A single cow with mad cow disease can infect how many humans? When those individuals who contracted Mad Cow die, no harm is done to the rest of the population, right? Am I missing something here?
