We have some failed archaeologists here, we should have a megathread  :hmm:

Good thing they have the law and teaching English to fall back on

I forgot about that thread.  :blush:

I just did a quick search for Neanderthals and found this thread.

Oh, and FYI with regard to the OP comment you made
QuoteYet more evidence that Neanderthal were not cognitively inferior to Homo Sapiens.

This is a truism, because neanderthals were homo sapiens.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I agree, but not everyone classifies them that way.  I've seen them classified as H. neanderthalis.  I've also seen them classified as H. sapiens, but a different sub-species, H. sapiens neanderthalis (with modern humans being H. sapiens sapiens).

When people say Homo sapiens they are commonly understood to be referring to homo sapien sapien. grumbler's just tiny boating again.

"Tiny boating?"  Is that a Portagee thing?

It referred to a thread where he argued for pages about the definition of a "pestache" (or something to that effect) and whether or not the definition meant tiny boat. It was classic grumbler.

Insofar as I know, H. sapiens neanderthalis is the current biological designation, and has been for a couple of decades.  Thus, they are homo sapiens, just a different subspecies than h.s.s.

When you are writing in a scientific sense, common definitions as defined by Portuguese are to be eschewed.

:lol:  No, that's not at all what the debate was about, but I'll leave you to your amusing delusions.

It's ok, memory is one of the first things to go with advanced age, so don't feel too bad :console:

Sadly the debate is before 2009 so we don't have it on record.  Grumbler pretended not to understand something for some sort of rhetorical trick (you know routine).  It concerned a type of ship (the meaning made obvious from context), and Grumbler would go on about it being a "light" or "dark" x.  Eventually, Grumbler admitted to understanding the English language and simply complained the sentence did not use "dispatch ship".

Never happened then. A pigment of your imagination.
