I figured I'd expand (though of course everyone knows what I am talking
about, here, right?).

Some Neanderthal skulls got funny teeth. Supposedly unique to the seperate
species that didn't interbreed. Except a bunch of Maltese people have
teeth like this. How'd that happen?

There's all sorts of bogosity in paleoanthropology. Did you know there are
a bunch of these academic scientists who seriously maintain that human
beings didn't have speech before 70,000 years ago or so? They were every
way identical to us, they just couldn't talk, poor things.

Where do they get these ideas?

The species is a million years old and for 990,000 of those years we were
sort of half-smart animals scraping out a living. Then, all of a sudden,
ten thousand years ago, something happened, and now we're flying in space.

Two kinds of people who didn't look any different than hottentots and
swedes hung out around each other for tens of thousands of years, with
interbreedable genomes, and none of them had children.

People want to believe these kinds of things, they can. I'll pass.
