LONDON - Neanderthals in Europe were killed off by the advance of modern humans thousands of years earlier than previously believed, losing a competition for food and shelter, according to a scientific study published Wednesday

Take a look at National Geographic's "The Genographic Project"

The Genographic Project

Very interesting development indeed.

I've been considering participating in that. I think I know my ancestry, but you never know. A lot of people who thought they knew their roots got a real shock when they got a DNA analysis. People who thought they were black found out they had no African blood at all. 30% of American whites have significant amounts of non-white DNA. A lot of family skeletons are being pulled from the closet into the light of day by DNA.

However one small group of Neanderthals have managed to survive in Washington DC.

I don't know if the extinction of the Neanderthals really qualifies as "current" events...

There was a human skull found in Omo Kibish Ethiopia that was dated to be 195,000 years old. We have to re-write the anthropolgy books to show that the human story in far older then previously thought. In terms of whole human race the industrial revolution is but a blink of an eye lasting all of 0.1% of human existance on Earth.

The Neanderthals were actually not killed off. It's just a scam to make us Europeans feel. They moved to America and started the GOP.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Schweinshaxe', 'W')ell, maybe but my post was funnier even though the word "bad" is missing in it... I don't edit. You didn't notice it anyway...

[Daculling]

HaHa! I am decendant from Neanderthals!

Europeans are Neanderthals

Africans are more closely related to Homo Erectus then the rest of hunamity.

I wonder if evolution will play a roll post peak. Could humans evolve back into earlier more rugged forms. I think it could happen in the next 50,000 to 100,000 years.

We've also learned some things that could really make a difference to the outcome. Hygene for example, or the knowledge of germs and bacteria. Even without industrial civilisation that knowledge could have made a massive difference to survival.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PenultimateManStanding', 'S')ounded like you were saying that Europeans are so jaded that they don't feel anything at all, too numb to care.
