Possible GGG ping?
I knew this. My last boyfriend had a brow ridge you wouldn't believe.
Yeah, and they ALL VOTED Tuesday!.......
Milford Wolpoff is right as I always believed.
I just finished reading "Race and Human Evolution: A Fatal Attraction" by Milford Wolpoff and Rachel Caspari
and he and his wife tell a most compelling tale. One can also gather that the 'OUT of AFRICA' theory (the opposing theory that discounts Wolpoff's 'Multiregional Theory') is more concerned with Political Correctness than scientific fact.
Just my $0.02
Tuesday proves it...
"The answer is: probably yes, though not often."
Thats 'cause their wimmenses were so ugly. It too a lot of fermented aurock's milk to make them look good at the end of the night.
Guess those Geico ads aren't that far off.
We got a gentle reminder of this Tuesday in the mid-term elections.
Joe Girardi (right) famous MLB Neaderthal catcher!!!(humor, I love the guy)
Wolpoff and Caspari in their book, "Race and Human Evolution: A Fatal Attraction", go on to show that modern Aboriginal Austrailans can have larger brow ridges than some Neaderthals of 40,000 years ago...we are all modern Human beings.
Why do you guys keep posting this garbage? It's a known fact that neanderthals contributed nothing discernable to the genetic makeup of modern man and that neanderthal DNA is usually described as "about halfway between ours and that of a chimpanzee". This is the thing which has ruled the neanderthal out as a plausible human ancestor; to be descended from something, at some point, you have to be able to interbreed with the something, and we could no more interbreed with neanderthals than we could with baboons, or with goats or sheep for that matter. Humans and neanderthals lived in close proximity for protracted periods. There should have been a LOT of evidence of crossbreeding; the fact that there was ZERO such evidence was a big mystery until the DNA analyses came in.
Further, the fact that all other hominids are much further removed from us than the neanderthal basically rules out any sort of a theory of humans having evolved from anything else on this planet. There is no plausible evolutionary antecedant for modern man on this planet.
Scientists have found new genetic evidence that they say may answer the longstanding question of whether modern humans and Neanderthals interbred when they co-existed thousands of years ago.
Yes they just voted tuesday....and won Big.
Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.

I would argue that Gaz Coombes of the British pop combo Supergrass is strong evidence of an intermediary form.
For once, I completely agree with a New York Times headline.
kind of interesting, but if we bred with Neanderthals, wouldn't
that have eventually brought the offspring to some type
of genetic midpoint, and not allowed any further major changes to
occur as long as the breeding continued to occur?
Is this information (if true) gonna bring back scientific
racism?...i.e. those whites have more Neanderthal DNA than
the blacks, or those yellows have 20% of Lucy's genome, or
those red have 15% of Homo Habilis?
Where is William Schockley and Arthur Jensen now?
