"In fact the only evidence for an invasion of Basqueland dates from thousands upon thousands of years ago when Cro-Magnon? people first arrived in Europe and superseded the Neanderthals. Could this have been when the Basques first arrrived in Europe? The archeological evidence is shaky and it is difficult to assume there was never an invasion just because evidence for one has not yet been found. But so far the evidence is fairly clear, and even if the arrival of the Basques is postponed it is now quite certain that they arrived before the Indo-Europeans and thus that they are the oldest surviving people in Europe.

They play bagpipes don't they?
I lived among them in Nevada and they seemed pretty normal, except for their obsession with sheep! {ggg}.
I am, and I am proud!

I for one demand that this child receive a proper burial, rather than be studied by scientists!
Irish engineers?
*shudder*
No offense, for engineers you need Germans at best, or at worst, Brits and Japanese.
Thanks for the Link!
very nice painting
Thanks for the ping, but -- being wildly subjective -- this isn't "newsy" enough to justify a general ping to the list.

Just updating the GGG info, not sending a general distribution.To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer'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] |
