mao che minh writes "From Pravda.ru - German and American geneticists recently discovered that the neanderthal has nothing to do with modern day man's genealogy. I figured that the lack of a genetic relationship between the two species was already well known, especially when you consider the empirical evidence compiled thus far that concludes that cromagnon man and neaderthal coexisited. I suppose that the geneticists aim to put the story to bed with their DNA research."
Convergent evoloution? Or is the story about my great grandpa and the circus monkey true?
All Troll + "offtopic" mods are meta moderated as "Unfair", because you abused the system.
Obviously we aren't all reading the right literature.
It's already been discovered that our ancestors co-existed with cro-magnon man rather than evolved from him. In fact, we likely caused his extinction. We're just lucky we got off the leaf-currency system before we deforested the entire planet and did ourselves in.
"That's traffic control."
So, are we then descended from cyborgs, or was that an untenable offshoot of the main branch of human evolution?

This news should really help my forthcoming paternity suit.
Thanks slashdot!

Hey, whatever works to keep the romance alive, I guess.
Opinions on the Twiddler2 hand-held keyboard?
People say that, but I have yet to get a goatse.cx (or a mirror of same) link published... I submit one or two every single day under a variety of topics.
