Did Humans Get Their Big Brains From Neanderthals?
MCTFB writes, "According to CNN, human beings may have acquired a gene for developing bigger brains from Neanderthal man. Apparently, 70% of the world's population has a variant of a gene regulating brain size, with this variant being most common in people of European descent (where Neanderthal man lived alongside ancient humans), and least common in people of African descent (where Neanderthal man was non-existent). While modern day eugenicists might all too eagerly read into these findings to draw their own politically biased conclusions, people such as myself, who happen to be of northern European ancestry, may find it fascinating that somewhere in our lineage ancient humans and Neanderthals decided to make love and not war on the ancient plains of Eurasia."
What's so surprising about this result? People will fuck anything and everything.
And the Neanderthals got their big brain from Homo Erectus who traded a mule for it.
"decided to make love and not war on the ancient plains of Eurasia" you know how these sorta things start out... they knew each other from somebody else... met at a party and after alot of drinking let there hormones get the best of there barely separated genes and they mixed back together.

Oceania has never been at war with Eurasia. Everyone knows that.
The theory of relativity doesn't work right in Arkansas.
What is this, some kind of government sting to catch racists that reply?

Obviously we inherited our brains from those on the B-ark. Which is why we always have such impeccably clean phones.
