it is fasincating. anyone wants to contribute to this thought?
Wow, and there we were all laughing at that daughter and father incest story, when really, we're ALL related. Whooopeee.chicky_pie said:Zomg, we're all related.
are u saying that bestiality is OK?aMUSEd1977 said:Oh and the fact that we all evolved from the same single cell organism on the bottom of the ocean? And thus as a result, the first set of humans (lol adam and eve if you believe in that stuff) are the "parents" of all humanity.

Neanderthals lived until 25,000 years ago and were as smart as humans. They had tool use and social groups but we're not sure yet if they had structured language. Their brain size was 10 to 20% bigger. They couldn't run well, and it is assumed they killed prey by leaping on it, as evident by the many healed fractures in in the skeletons found (including on the skull).wuddie said:this gives raise to another thought - what if there was another specie of intelligent being on earth, one which is of higher order, lived at the same time as our ancestors. but maybe they've extinct for whatever reason. human have always seen themselves as the head honcho of the animal kingdom, but what if that wasn't the case x years ago?

wuddie said:i put it down to luck, pure luck. surely human didn't know what was going on back then, so how can they do anything to prevent from extinction?
so i was right? i don't know, i only guessed a scenario. so we ARE the products of luck.Slidey said:Neanderthals lived until 25,000 years ago and were as smart as humans.

The reason human survived as the dominant species isn't due to intelligence, just luck and potentially outbreeding.
There was a large degree of interbreeding between homo species after they diverged though. Even in the case of chimps and Homo, they were interbreeding for something like 5 million years after they started split as species (which accounts for something about the X chromsome being genetically more similar to chimps than any other chromosome apparently, since males don't pass on their X chromosome). Interbeeding between chimps and Homo likely stopped for a few reasons: a) genetic similarity became to small... e.g. it would have been hard or impossible after our two chromosome 2's merged, b) social differences... maybe humans found apes unattractive, or apes found humans to have an unpleasant odour, due to hair loss, other genetics, etc.
Let me hazard a guess.wuddie said:say what now? and your grasp of english and reasoning is far superior?
