Re: What is the purpose of this discussion?
In 1856 Thomas H. Huxley (ardent evolutionist and defender of Darwin) said Neanderthal bones belonged to people and did not prove evolution
and you think we haven't learned anything new in the 151 years since?
Rudolph Virchow, a German anatomist, said the bones were those of modern men afflicted with rickets and arthritis. ("Neanderthals had Rickets" Science Digest, February 1971,p.35)
And you think we haven't learned anything new in the 36 years since?
The Cro-Magnons were normal people,not monkeys; and they provide no evidence of transition from ape to man.
Men, that is Homo sapiens, are apes.

Live every week like it's Shark Week!
Just a monkey in a long line of kings.
If "elitist" just means "not the dumbest motherfucker in the room", I'll be an elitist!
*not an actual doctor
