Don't get it (Re: Ape to Man - where did the hair go?)

Look at the cover of the book Mutants by A M Leroi for a prime example. (If I remembered how to shorten hyperlinks, I'd link to Barnes & Noble here....)[This message has been edited by Coragyps, 03-31-2004]

Fortunately for all of you, you haven't seen my butt. If I could knit, I could make a sweater for a chihuahua from the shearings I could harvest back there.
And then, I had six wisdom teeth, like, say, a chimpanzee does......

Bacteria have motives?! Hmmm!

There's a story, though I won't vouch for its complete accuracy, that a reporter was incredulous of Louis Leakey's claim that wearing down game was how early hominids hunted. They were at Leakey's camp, and Leakey was over 60 years old at the time.Leakey took a cobble, smashed in on another to make a handax, and took off at a trot after an antelope. The antelope sprinted away, then rested, sprinted, rested..... while Leakey trotted after it. When it couldn't sprint any more - less than fifteen minutes - Leakey cracked its skull with his handax and carried it back to camp. And then skinned it with stone tools.I, personally, might be able to hit one with the car......
