OK well I'd not heard of this theory before...  (previous posts mentioned it was down to bunnies, their demise that is!)


"A study of Neanderthal skulls suggests that they became extinct because they had larger eyes than our species".

As a result, more of their brains were devoted to seeing in the long, dark nights in Europe, at the expense of high-level processing.
By contrast, the larger frontal brain regions of Homo sapiens led to the fashioning of warmer clothes and the development larger social networks.

But... with those larger eyes they could at least have seen all the bunnies they weren't eatting because they were too busy singing opera...

I read an SAS survival book once, (probably watered down for the public), but it mentioned that if you had to survive in the wild, eating rabbit shouldn't be done too much as they lack real nutritional value...

Just googled it up to see if its true,  and there's a wiki  on it

http://en.wikipedia....bbit_starvation


and

"You can eat 10 rabbits a day and still “starve” as rabbit lacks everything except protein for your body’s survival".

FGS... there's a new cause of their demise every week!  Do scientists not read the tabloids or visit UM?

Thats because most people aren't willing to eat the brains, liver and marrow. Eat those parts and it will give you a lot more nutrients. The muscle meat itself is very lean though.

Yea liver in particular if chock full of vitamins and not bad if you are starving.  Just don't eat too much of it otherwise.

Mostly depends on the species. Bear liver for example is supposidly toxic to humans. Other types can save you. Its a fine balance.

Should have stocked up when you had the chance... they have a half life of 500 years or so...

[PersonFromPorlock]

My own theory (given before) is that big-brained Neanderthal had the intellect of a typical liberal arts professor and was therefore incapable of doing anything useful. If only they had survived until tenure was invented....

This is geting to be to much.lets see what they write next week
I can see the head line .there noses where to big which caused there lungs to pop lol

[Frank Merton]

Now it seems the Neanderthals may have all been extinct several thousand years before Cro-Magnon even entered Europe.  Whoops!  There goes into dust a whole bunch of encounter fantasies.
