Ummmm, exactly what did you mean by that post?
The Neandertal EnigmaFrayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

I think that what he meant was that the newcomers exterminated them. Gates to the Nazi concentration camps read “Work makes you free.”
IT ALL HAPPENED SO FASTOne minute the two space Hab astronauts were scoop-diving the atmosphere, the next they'd been shot down over the North Dakota Glacier and were the object of a massive manhunt by the United States government.
That government, dedicated to saving the environment from the evils of technology, had been voted into power because everybody knew that the Green House Effect had to be controlled, whatever the cost. But who would have thought that the cost of ending pollution would include not only total government control of day-to-day life, but the onset of a new Ice Age?
Stranded in the anti-technological heartland of America, paralyzed by Earth's gravity, the "Angels" had no way back to the Space Habs, the last bastions of high technology and intellectual freedom on or over the Earth. But help was on its way, help from the most unlikely sources ....

Where’s the joke? I just think it’s sad, ‘cause it’s obviously true. LOL!
I recognize those particular gates of Hell.
I’m quite curious what Mr. Noble meant.
“Fallen Angels “
That was the last SF book I read, before I gave it up.
“Just as importantly, it also says that the behavioral difference between the groups were small. They saw each other as social equals.”
My, but crap like this makes my butt tired.
They saw each other as social equals, did they? Sure, either that or they ate the men and kept the women around to satisfy other appetites.
Has the level of intelligence in arts and parties departments sunk so low that they don’t even realize how stupid a statement like that makes them look?
I wish they'd give us examples!
