Oh, we're learning more of your wonderful alternate reality - Neandertal men are men who have lived more years?

Not too difficult a concept to comprehend by Christians of Neanderthal descent and ancestry.Originally posted by Paul of Eugene:

Not in the least, because Neanderthal morphology was passed on to succeeding generations no matter how long a child might live.Originally posted by Paul of Eugene:
[QB] But if your theory is that neandertals represent normal humans that merely lived longer and became neandertal in morphology because of that longer life . . .
the observation of neandertal children would prove the theory was wrong.
No, actually, it makes no sense.Originally posted by jcrawford:
The only thing which altered Neanderthal morphology was the decrease in Neanderthal longevity. Clever, huh?

Our "older folk" never live beyond 120 years in these latter days.Originally posted by Paul of Eugene:
And our oldest living examples today - they show a creeping tendancy towards neandertal traits, don't they? Their chins fade away, coming less and less a prominent part of the face, they develop heavier ridgns over their eyes . . . they become more muscular . . .
Just exactly what we see in our older folk!

Sleep well, Paul. Alan Templeton beat us to it.Originally posted by Paul of Eugene:
Headline says "the case is far from settled"
JC writes "O of A is as dead as it is racist".
I will agree with you, JC, the O of A theory is exactly as dead as it is racist.
He is still looking at Neanderthal Man and Modern Man as two different species, though, rather than as one species which metamorphized from Neanderthals into Moderns due to decreasing life spans.Originally posted by Paul of Eugene:
Did you see how it ended - the very last few statements?
So even Alan Templeton isn't certain about your idea that Neandertals bred with us - yet.
As the Neanderthal life spans of the first generations of Noah decreased, Neanderthal Man started looking more like Heidleberg Man. As the life span of Heidleberg Man continued to decrease, the morphology of Modern Man emerged. At each stage of the gradual metamorphosis of Neanderthal Man into Modern Man, there was no need for inter 'species' breeding because Man, ever since Adam and Eve has always only been one species. We just looked a little different before, and for awhile after, the flood.I think homo sapiens and neandertals did have sex from time to time. I mean, after all, in our own case, we're talking about a species that will occasionally indulge in sex with sheep!
I suspect the offspring were infertile, like mules.
To classify ancestors of the human race as separate species in high school textbooks is racist.Originally posted by Paul of Eugene:
And to believe they were seperate species is . . still racist!
Jack Spratt could eat no fat.Originally posted by Paul of Eugene:
Paul: no its not
JC: yes it is
Paul no
JC yes
Paul NO FOREVER
JC oooooo . .
Egypt and South Africa are also African. Is your wife black? Do you consider her not a Neanderthal?Originally posted by jcrawford:
You've got your "distinct impressions" backwards, Daisy, since my wife is of African descent but in no way "part ape."
Do you believe that our ancestors were a different race from all modern races?To classify ancestors of the human race as separate species in high school textbooks is racist.
