Stone Age feminism? [Neanderthal women to blame]

Boston Globe ^ | 10 November 2007 | Colin Nickerson

[Max in Utah]

All right, who else misread that statement like I did?

LOL! A lot of us!

Reminded me of Al Bundy's life-long dream: to become a "Great White Hooter Hunter."

[Lady Jag]

From the Mother State, no less.

[Neanderthal]

"If a Neanderthal were to come along, we'd think he was kind of weird."

Maybe that's my problem.

[Lady Jag]

Bummer

[ModelBreaker]

Doesn't sound persuasive to me. If this situation were so bad, then Neanderthals would have never survived in the first place.

Unless a Neanderthal Betty Friedan at some point convinced Neanderthal women that they could only be fulfilled by hunting sabertooth tigers.

[BlueStateBlues]

Hairy backs as well. I think I read that hairy backs are found predominately in men from with Northern European ancestery and from Russia and areas near Russia. Does anyone have anymore information on this?

[Syncro]

My, you do have some good pictures!

Yep, that’s the modern “club” that was used...

[Gorzaloon]

Boston Globe

Oh. Never mind.

[Lady Jag]

Economy club?

[Kay Ludlow]

LOL! That was great!

[Little Bill]

I is obvious that Lieberman has never been in a real serious bar room brawl.

[Salamander]

“They might have been our lovers.”

And some still are.

[Salamander]

“Hairy backs as well./Does anyone have anymore information on this?”

Or phone numbers?

[bwahahahahaaaaaa!]

There.
I’ve fulfilled your expectations.

:)

[shouldn’t someone come along soon and gripe that this thread has degraded?]

[LiteKeeper]

YEC INTREP

[LS]

LOL. Didn’t catch that myself.

[SunkenCiv]

Well, to be fair, we're just not that edified in the first place. ;')

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve

Frayer'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]

[sheik yerbouty]

Yup!

[SunkenCiv]

so, baldness was an evolved trait after all...
