< sarcasm>Yeah right. < /sarcasm> I put sarcasm in front to show something that you still don't understand. A mistake is an error is lexcorp. Your effete protestations notwithstanding, your moral etc. "superiority" is not. The "Great Green" whatever is your invention not mine. So you lie again...
This from a guy suggesting that we need to include the Great Green Arkleseizure in any discussion of the origin of species?
You are continually displaying your irrationality. You even go as far as try to impress by mentioning what you do for a living. Who cares what you do when your communication and thinking skills are at the level of a rabid shrew. As I mentioned before, God help us if you are still involved in designing our defensive systems.
It is plain to see that you are the one doing the slalom. The time has been reached where humor in watching you make a fool of yourself has been been superceded by the expenditure of time. Goodbye. Cackle to the world and try convince the yokels therein of your intellectual superiority, you've no chance here unless you try it in a mirror.
American Association for the Advancement of Science, Early humans dressed for dinnerSophisticated jewellery appeared with social events.18 February 2002
Our early ancestors glammed-up for a get-together. Humans worldwide began wearing jewellery at the same time as groups started meeting up, say US researchers. The finding counters the idea that 'modern' behaviour swept the globe when modern humans migrated out of Africa. Residents of Kenya around 40,000 years ago wore beads and pendants made from ostrich eggshell; those in Turkey and Lebanon preferred seashell chic. The ancient beads and necklaces were unearthed by Mary Stiner and her colleagues in Turkey1 and by other teams at sites in Lebanon, Africa and Europe. Such ornaments are seen as a sign of sophisticated behaviour. "We think it typifies modern humans," says Stiner, of the University of Arizona in Tucson. Like today's wedding rings and medallions, jewellery says a lot about availability, wealth and religion. "These trinkets really do matter," she says. Adornments appeared when growing populations made groups more likely to encounter each other, she told the meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Boston. Suffering artists Animal remains around the Mediterranean suggest that human diet changed 40,000-50,000 years ago. People switched from easy-to-catch shellfish and tortoises to fast-moving birds and rabbits, the team also found. Rising population density probably made food scarce. The expansion of glaciers, forcing people south, could have worsened the crush. These findings suggest that modern human behaviour appeared simultaneously on different continents. This counters the theory that sophisticated behaviour emerged when anatomically modern humans spread out of Africa around 40,000-50,000 years ago, replacing culturally primitive Neanderthals. "There are many signs of modernity before then," agrees archaeologist Lawrence Straus of the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. Cultured behaviour was an adaptation to changing conditions, he argues. Other archaeological evidence - such as sophisticated tools and art -appear in the fossil record before anatomically modern humans. |
