THEIR MALES ALL MARRIED EACH OTHER AND HAD NO CHILDREN. AIN’T SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES A BITCH?
They are on that island with Elvis and JFK.
Interesting story. I would suspect that they had a deficient gene called liberalitis that did them in.
We took to alcohol and blogging to dumb ourselves down to happy. There is a House episode about it.
I won’t say it, but I’m thinking it! Bump.
Rising expectations...
An enormous brain no more makes one a great thinker than an enormous d**k makes one a great lover. It’s what you do with what you’ve got that counts.
On the other hand, all other things being equal, bigger is better. Or, at least, that’s what my ex-wife says.
Their mothers died in childbirth.
In any event, brain size does not necessarily correspond to a 150 IQ. Albert Einstein did not have a big head.

I have big feet.
It’s the ratio that’s important, not absolute size. Elephants have enormous brains because every square inch of skin, muscle etc etc has X number of nerve cells that the brain needs to communicate with. If there was a hominid close to our size, but with a substantially larger brain, it would be indicative of intelligence.
