".........Cold glacial periods were punctuated by warmer times, and the average temperature could rise and fall several degrees within a decade or so........"

Kinda makes a good argument against taking any drastic, draconian, economic action vis a vis Global Warming.

"Good thing, too. You think we have racism NOW!"

What makes you think Neanderthals are racist? ;o)

[frankenMonkey]

All of this assumes, of course, that the earth was not created ~6000 years ago as may creationists believe. I'm surprised they haven't jumped on this thread, denouncing the whole notion of Neanderthals being our 'relatives'...

well, they just did...

Now 30 scientists have come together to publish the most definitive answer yet to this enigma.

Consensus Science: the scientific "method" of the twentyfirst century!

I am thinking Bush is causing Universal warming.

Bush's fault. </sarcasm off>

[uncitizen]

Bush's fault.

Well that goes without saying.

[TaxRelief]

FYI, the majority of people who believe that the world was created by a Superior Being do NOT believe the earth is only 6000 years old. (That's an Atheist perpetuated myth.)

[Diplomat]

lol. Would you believe they are Politically Correct Neanderthals?

The neanderthal's leaders wouldn't issue a state of emergency, refused to accept help from the Gravettians, and let the busses stay where they were.

What, or even who, killed humankind's nearest relatives, the Neanderthals who once roamed Europe before dying out almost 30,000 years ago? Suspects have ranged from the climate to humans themselves, and the mystery has deeply divided experts. Now 30 scientists have come together to publish the most definitive answer yet to this enigma. They say Neanderthals simply did not have the technological know-how to survive the increasingly harsh winters. And intriguingly, rather than being Neanderthal killers, the original human settlers...
