MY KIND OF PEOPLE "Zeitgeist" and "paradigms" in the same paragraph. Irresistible! And that pic is just like the framed portrait of my son I have displayed (as prominently as his brows) upon my mantle. :D
  • Quite seriously, I agree with their conclusions and have held to the opinion that Neanderthals had more to do with our 'acquisition of what it is to be human' than any Cro-Magnon. Even the C-M word smacks of conservatism. I have yet to meet a Bank Manager who is not Cro-Magnon. ;)
  • Even the C-M word smacks of conservatism They would never use a French term like Cro-Magnon. They'd call them Freedom Men.
  • Or Alaskans.
  • > held to the opinion that Neanderthals had more to do with our 'acquisition of what it is to be human' than any Cro-Magnon. Hah! Take that, Finland!
  • Interesting weltanschauung. I look forward to the festschrift.
  • That Neanderthal woman is a BABE!
  • They put flowers in the graves of their children. I don't need to know any more than that to understand they were human.
  • I take great personal pleasure in pronouncing "paradigm" "para-diggum."
