Neanderthal "make-up" discovered

I heard this news on BBC today. These Neanderthals were not that different from us, us much as we love to believe they were. And then, they had, on avarage, bigger brains than we have now. Next thing they will discover is that they were the true "Atlantians", hahahaha !!! OMG. That would explode the UM site.

I heard this news on BBC today. These Neanderthals were not that different from us, us much as we love to believe they were. Oooh but that would mean that we're not 'special'!!! Lol, I don't get the whole feeling of superiority, I think the only thing that makes us truley unique is our arrogance to think we are. I think I read a while back that it was mainly the Neanderthal's slower reproductive rate that meant humans displaced it more easily,so, no; they really weren't that different.

Neanderthals got bling! Great article! Always fascinating to get a glimpse into the lives of this vanished species of human being.

What I read is that they had specialized in hunting big game animals, like woolly rhinocerus, mammoths, cave bears, and even hyenas. After these animals died out in Europe, the Neanderthals did not adapt soon enough, and died out. But believe me, I don't buy this. I think they died out by nothing else but some disease, imported by the new arrivals in Europe, our ancestors. disease would not have been able to wipe all of them out. Neanderthals traveled in small groups that were not in contact with the other groups

Maybelline!

If they (Neanderthals) looked really like in the photo, even Max Factor couldn't much to "arrange" them

disease would not have been able to wipe all of them out. Neanderthals traveled in small groups that were not in contact with the other groups No, but these small groups of Neanderthals would all eventually have come in contact with these immigrants from the south and east of Europe and with the diseases these new arrivals carried with them. And that combined with - maybe - a slower reproduction rate of the Neanderthals did them in.

No, but these small groups of Neanderthals would all eventually have come in contact with these immigrants from the south and east of Europe and with the diseases these new arrivals carried with them. And that combined with - maybe - a slower reproduction rate of the Neanderthals did them in. Plus aggressive encounters with the new competitors. I think there is even a school of thought that believes that we wiped them out violently. I am not completely convinced but knowing our destructive nature I have few problems imagining our ancestors taking a non to kindly approach to a competing species... [More]

Neanderthals wore make-up? I guess they weren't as ugly as we thought, huh? LOL! Maybe they just smeared mud on their faces. Who knows.
