QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ Nov 23 2017, 10:39 PM) But we don't know what was written though. People find the strangest things to get upset about, point in question, headteachers have been told not to call female pupils 'girls' or 'ladies' as it might cause anxiety. Seriously? Oh, the irony.

QUOTE (Turin Machine @ Nov 24 2017, 09:07 AM) New scientific discoveries!! It has been know for some years now that modern man (homo sapiens) has within his DNA matrix a small but significant amount of neanderthal DNA, for most of us its around 2 - 4%, but startling news is now emerging that in some individuals the ratio can be even larger. Recent tests show a single test subject known only as 'newres' had a truly incredible 80% neanderthal DNA code. The remaining 20% turned out to be potato. Your point is , one surmises , that Neanderthal Man was quite intelligent and probably disappeared owing to ethnic cleansing by the less than compassionate Homo Sapien . The potato on the other hand went on to be one of the most important vegetables on the planet Remember we ALL came from a simple single cell blob , so say hello to your close cousin ...........before you eat it .

QUOTE (newres @ Nov 24 2017, 08:17 AM) It’s called a synonym. Google it. Ah, I see. So the research you refer to doesn't use the term "thick" it's just a synonym you decided to use. Again, can you direct us to this piece of research so we can adopt our own synonyms to use with it. Thanks.

I see he's back from his day out at the flat earth society meeting with his carer.

Neanderthal was sadly not the brightest, not a great tool maker and had vestigial if any language skills. Today's thinking is not some kind of stone age Holocaust but rather that sapiens interbred with Neanderthals which explains the remnant DNA in our gene pool. Interestingly enough this DNA is almost absent in people of African descent. Interestingly, there are records from the Pyrenees in I believe the 18th century of sightings of what look suspiciously like a Neanderthal male. Which fits with the belief in some quarters that small pockets of ancient people still existed within the deeply forested pockets of Europe. As you say, we all came from the same primordial ooze, it's just that the liberals are still struggling with the whole evolution bit.

It looks like the forum yobs have a hangover! 😋 At least it had the decency to tell the reader it was pseudo science, just to avoid confusion amongst the rest of the flat earth society and liberal readership.

Pseudoscience is the missuse of science, the article appears to be simple satire and fiction, perhaps as a retaliation by right-wingers being accused of lacking certain skills others take for granted.
