"Gunnar Heinsohn, Professor of Economics at Bremen"

Please cite a real geologist or archeologist, not another nutcase.

The man does more than economics. Has the University of Bremen made YOU any job offers recently?

Are you talking about the Bronze Age site in Northern Syria called Tall Munbaqa? Isn't that the same place where the terrorist Mohammed Atta worked as a German college student?

What exactly did the Economics Professor Heinsohn "reveal" to the "European archeologists"? Has the Economics professor published results in a real scientific journal? What, exactly, are his archeological, anthropological, or geological "credentials" anyway?

Why be lazy? Try getting onto google.com and do a search on "Gunnar Heinsohn" yourself.

Would you say a donkey is merely a subspecies of horse? Because there have been rare instances where mules have been able to reproduce.

As I noted before, these are just man-made definitions such as the definition of "citizen" or "adult". What's an "adult"? An 18 year old or a 21 year old?

A subspecies develops when two populations have been isolated from each other for so long that their characteristics begin to drift apart to the point that they are no longer genetically compatible to produce fertile offspring.

If the two populations of subspecies ever get back into the same geographic area and start mating regularly and producing fertile offspring, then they will revert to a common form with little difference between each other after many generations.

Since a fertile mule is a rare occurance, biologists have agreed to classify donkeys and horses as different species.

If fertile mules were to develop, they would form their own species and would share the classification of "species" with any others that they could consistently produce fertile offspring with.

Sure thing, medved. Here's the Google results. The sites are all fringe theories - Saturn and other catastrophes. Not a serious scientific paper or work in the bunch.

Anyway, I liked this one:
It is with a profound sense of ambivalence that I write this article, taking a critical stance towards the historical reconstruction of Gunnar Heinsohn. Not only do I regard Gunnar as a personal friend; he has long been a supporter of Aeon, first as a contributor of numerous articles and also through featured appearances at various symposia. Yet the suspicion has been building for some time now that all is not well with Dr. Heinsohn's handling of the ancient sources. Since Aeon has taken an active role in publicizing Heinsohn's researches, it follows that we have a certain responsibility to keep our readers informed of recent developments and, where necessary, point out problems as they come to our attention.

The current article examines Heinsohn's attempted identification of Hammurabi with Darius, arguably the most novel and controversial claim in a historical reconstruction remarkable for its radical nature.

That's from a catastrophism site! THEY don't even beleive Heinsohn!! :P

Oops. Typo on my last post:

A subspecies develops when two populations have been isolated from each other for so long that their characteristics begin to drift apart to the point that they are no longer genetically compatible to produce fertile offspring.

That should read "Species" and not "Subspecies".

Subspecies look different but their genetic characteristics are such that they can breed and produce fertile offspring on a regular basis.

Here is an artificial example...... if Collies and Beagles were naturally found in the wild on two different islands, biologists would classify them as subspecies as they look quite different but the biologists would be classify them as the same species as they can produce fertile offspring on a regular basis.

hmmm....maybe this could explain the likes of James Carville, and Monica Lewinsky.

Jud 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

(Italics mine.)

Gen 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they [were] fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

Hybrids, including King Tut. (I don't know about their Methelusah claims, but the pictures are good.)

Castro's dad was Galician. The Celtic music in Spanish Galicia does survive even if the old idioma doesn't.

It would take an intelligent person several months worth of study to get on top of the controversies involving Heinsohn and you're claiming to have done that in the last ten minutes...

Anybody wanting to get caught up on this one would be best off finding copies of Emmet Sweeney's two books which I mentioned, "The Pyramid Age", and "Genesis of Israel and Egypt".

You misspelled "a lobotomy." Hope this helps.

No, I didn't. I'm not going to referee a food fight between two equally stupid sets of foil-head nutballs. I just thought it was funny...

Due to a shortage of interns, Gov. Clinton initiates interbreeding experiments in Arkansas.

Debate about the success of the Clinton interbreeding experiments continues with scientists divided whether the next stage should proceed.

Call the Smithsonian, get a study going on Carville.

Carville doesn't prove this theory. He proves there is life on other planets.

President Bill and as yet unknown Clinton offspring from interbreeding.
