Size doesn't matter

I'd just like to point out that Neanderthals actually had larger brains than modern humans - 1500cc vs. 1400cc give or take.

As far as I know no one has ever shown a correlation between brain size and intelligence anyway.

Re: Discussion of definition

Name-calling, labeling, classifying of human beings, with subsequent ad hominem attacks upon them, are the forte of neo-Darwinst taxonomists and evolutionary theorists.

And I thought you Yanks didn't get irony...

Re: Oxford Definition of Race.

No problem since neo-Darwinists still think that H. habilis or rudolfensis directly 'evolved' from apes in Africa and were ancestral to all subsequent species of African 'people' from whom all modern Europeans, Asians and Americans are 'naturally' descended.

My bold.

That should read "modern Europeans, Africans, Asians and Americans - but that leaves out Australians, Polynesians and so on.

It should really just say "all extant humans".

Can we use the aborigine picture?

Hi RAZD.

If you checked with Bone Clones before posting their picture this is a moot point, but they have a "No portion of this site, either photos or text, can be reproduced without the written permission of Bone Clones, Inc." notice on their homepage.

I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then
