Serious discussion only please!

I will make any contribution I care to make, humorous or otherwise, on what I think is a rather ridiculous thread in the first place.

Presumably you're posting this information as a way of correcting your previous and entirely incorrect assertion that cavemen of 15,000 years ago "were hairy creatures little different from apes".

I'm a huge naturalist. Can't stand humans and everything we live for to be honest. Wild animals aren't stupid enough to deplete resources to a stupidly low level without having an alternative like were doing now and have done in the past (Easter island). Were basically horrible, selfish, and ridiculously short sighted. Even very basic animals and insects have cognitive skills to understand how their behaviour affects their survival but we don't!?

Hear hear.

No I am correcting you assertion that cavemen were sophisticated creatures.

"Among concrete examples of Modern human behavior, anthropologists include specialization of tools, use of jewellery and images (such as cave drawings), organization of living space, rituals (for example, burials with grave gifts), specialized hunting techniques, exploration of less hospitable geographical areas, and barter trade networks. Debate continues as to whether a "revolution" led to modern humans ("the big bang of human consciousness"), or whether the evolution was more gradual"

Not sophistcated creatures at all...

You can continue to make irrelevant posts...

You make an interesting point, oli_cortez.

Some people with a similar way of thinking maintain that mankind is evolution's biggest mistake.

I believe we were hinting at your lack of proof for the bizarre, unfounded statement that you made....

'They (the aliens) were stranded on the planet in the clothes that they wore....'

So, they were a tad tongue in cheek but not irrelevant and as Andy stated, you will not tell us what to and what not to post.

As for your comment 'Serious discussion only please!', I'm afraid you flushed that particular turd when you started this thread. Have you read your own comments recently?
