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

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.
(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.)
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.
to get on top of the controversies involving Heinsohn and you're claiming to have done that in the last ten minutes...
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.
Carville doesn't prove this theory. He proves there is life on other planets.
President Bill and as yet unknown Clinton offspring from interbreeding.
