This is why those people attend rallies against globalization. They are neanderthals, and know that globalization will make them extinct.

[Leo Carpathian]

Modern humans may have driven Neanderthals to extinction 30,000 years ago because Homo sapiens unlocked the secrets of free trade, say a group of US and Dutch economists.

and that is awaiting liberals and their stooopid agenda! What, the group of the eco-no-mists have nothing better to do? Like they miss the Neandertalberals as customers? Go and dig some out.

Neanderthals, in contrast, lived in “largely unorganised” living spaces.

and then they joined communist party and extincted themselves. Shheeeesh! They spoend money on this crap?

[Mike Darancette]

I have always believed that disease transmitted by modern man killed off the Neanderthals.

Wheeeere is da beef?

[Finger Monkey]

I wonder if it finished off the dinosaurs as well. . . intriguing.

ECONOMICS KILLS!!!

“It’s an intriguing and novel idea,” says Delson. “But it requires stronger support.”

What it requires is evidence. Sometimes, I get annoyed with people coming up with 'ideas' that cannot be tested, and then saying, "see, see, it all makes sense now."

Stonehenge, for example. It is generally assumed that it was a place of great worship, due to the alignment of the openings with the positions of the sun. By that analogy, everybody that lives in northern latitudes is a sun worshipper. Evidence? We build our houses with windows on the southern exposure.

Maybe I just woke up grumpy or something, but I cannot accept that an entire species of man was made extinct because they didn't know how to work the stock market.

The redheads are still here.

[Fractal Trader]

Maybe this is why Willie doesn't like free trade: maybe he sympathizes too much with the Neanderthals.

[ASA Vet]

Is the red head link handy?

Homo Sapiens Capitalistensis

Supervolcanoes, disease, pandemics, global climate changes etc etc etc? Economics? Doubt it, but an interesting read, anyway. Good post, FF.

[Clemenza]

And it will finish off our modern day neanderthals as well. Survival of the fittest!

[samtheman]

Homo sapiens became the original free traders... the Neaderthals became the original Dead Heads.

[nightdriver]

"Anthropologists have considered a wide range of factors which may explain Neanderthal extinction, including biological, environmental and cultural causes."

They may have considered a wide range of factors, but they are totally ignorant of the Bible.

It has a very interesting passage on what has to be a pre-Adamic man.

You wouldn't expect the modern anthropologist to know such things because his overriding agenda is to prove that God does not exist.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Neanderthal probably died out because he was adapted to a cold climate, as indicated by his physical morphology. When the glaciers receded he couldn't adapt to the rigors of the new environment and many of his accustomed game animals died out. That's the best I can do. But I doubt very seriously that it had anything to do with free trade.

probably unprotected clubbing, much like the gays of today; just a different type of clubbing

[Brilliant]

I would not be surprised if there is still a little Neanderthal in all of us.

Neanderthals, in contrast, lived in “largely unorganised” living spaces.

Hmmmmpf... So do I...
