Deans of Dollars are Lords of the Burning Rings

When all is taken into account, it appears that modern levels of relative brain size were reached sometime between 300,000 and 200,000 years ago, in the late Middle Pleistocene. The people in which this can first be observed were no taller, on the average, than humans living today, but they were distinctly more robust. These people have been called Neanderthals, or H. sapiens neanderthalensis. The first such specimen was rediscovered in the German valley called the Neander Tal in 1856. Neanderthal brain size was actually near 1,500 cubic centimeters (91 cubic inches), but, because Neanderthals were bulkier than modern humans, the proportion of the brain to the body was essentially the same as it is today.

#2 IS #1 IDIOT-SAVANT

For many years, scientists believed that Neanderthals were the direct ancestors of modern humans. However, in 1997, a landmark study of DNA extracted from the 1856 fossil produced strong evidence to suggest that this was not the case. The scientists compared the DNA sequence of a region of the fossil mitochondrial genome with the sequence of a comparable region in the mitochondrial DNA of modern humans. The results indicated a threefold difference between the sequences of modern humans and Neanderthals. Furthermore, the type of differences, as well as their locations in the sequences, suggest it is highly unlikely that Neanderthals contributed to the modern human mitochondrial gene pool. The scientists further calculated that, while Neanderthals and modern humans did indeed share a common ancestor, the two lineages diverged between 550,000 and 690,000 years ago; the first known Neanderthal is placed at approximately 300,000-90,000 years ago, while the first modern humans are believed to have evolved around 200,000 years ago.

After the brain-body ratio reached its modern proportions, relative brain size stabilized in all human populations and has remained the same ever since. It is clear that major behavioral changes are indicated by the archaeological record. For the first time, there is evidence for regional differentiation in the style of making stone tools. At first, the areas of shared stylistic similarities are relatively large: all of Western Europe, for example. Subsequently, these regionally restricted areas of shared style elements become smaller and more clearly defined. Although the implications cannot be proven, it may be significant that the regions within which shared styles were maintained are strikingly similar in extent to what are separate language areas for human populations today.

This is probably as close as researchers shall ever get to obtaining direct evidence for the origin of language as we know it.

With language, the innovations of the brightest members of a group can be transmitted to all other members.

I am the BAIT, you are the beneficiary. Factor this in and learn from their mis-takes.

BANG SHE-LAD!

Hint: Neanderthalers probably look closer to the genetic engineers in the movie clip

O.o

I agree with psuedoslave on the info in the sidebar man.. but i must ask.. would it make us "initiates" if we understand it? i mean this one isn't so "advanced" but Wiki and Google get used quite frequently most times, and im sure the "profane" look at it like its another language.

This pretty much sums it up eh?!?!

yes, thats how they survived ice ages
