Methinks the "superglue" is what we would call snot.

Hey, you should e-mail this to Teddy Kennedy and tell him that those "neaderthals" that Bush appointed aren't so dumb afterall.

Genesis 6
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.

"It would further show that the behaviour gap between us and Neanderthals is narrower than we thought. Some may say there isn't a gap."Please. I could have told you that from my dating years.

Deceptive headline. I thought some of Bush's nominees had invented a new superior glue product.

Krauts are just trying to show that their ancestors knew a little something. Only thing they passed on to their offspring was how to make kraut.

Neandertals had bone structures twice as large as sapiens meaning they could support massive musculature. That means they could have body slammed NFL linemen. The breakage in their bones are similar to the ones sustained by rodeo riders indicating that they gang tackled their prey, something sapiens would were too wise and wimpy to do. We invented spears, slings and bows to bring down prey. It does not improve the survival of the species if the hunters are being killed or crippled by the prey.
Maybe the fabled Bigfoot is a branch of Erectus or even Neanderthal? If it exists, it would be some kind of Homo species.

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]

We have several kinds of intelligent creatures on this planet now, including parrots, dolphins, chimps, and gorillas. Koko, the first gorilla taught to sign, is said to have an IQ in the range of about 100, with an understood English vocabulary of several thousand words. All of that of course is very very far from us being related to any of those creatures, being descended from any of them via anyting resembling evolution, or anything like that at all. We are not related to apes or hominids in any way.

Such potential here...
Welcome to "Cave Improvement" with your host, "Zug"
Hi everyone, on our last eposide, my lovely assistant "Mung" was eaten by a giant ice-weasel. So today we're going to build a rudimentary neolithic intruder alert system using coconuts, human hair and various bodily excretions...

It had to be made at a precise temperature and means the race had considerable technical and manual skills in comparison to their dullard image.
The dullard image of Neanderthals was a very temporary image - except for Hollywood screenwriters.

LOL As I read the article, the original glue comes to mind, hint: it is found within the mucous membranes of the human body.
