fish have the most efficient form of locomotion followed by birds because we can regulate our heat better...
and few people believe me when I tell them I hunted a hare by running it into the ground... I picked it up nad held it only to prove it to my friends and then let it go...
Evidence suggests that Neanderthals didn't even throw their spears, as explained by the numerous injuries their fossils have.
Says who? Have you read this article about who are the neanderthals? http://www.politicalforum.com/science-technology/181150-those-enigmatic-neanderthals.html You can respond to that link at that link.
it's a misconception that the spear is a projectile weapon, even with historically modern humans rarely did they throw their spears, the spear is primarily a stabbing weapon not a projectile, throwing a spear leaves the owner defenseless...getting up close and personal with mega fauna is a high risk occupation... the Neanderthals injuries commonly referred to as "rodeo" injuries indicate the type and size of prey they hunted not their lack of ability...Neanderthals were big game hunters where as our ancestors tended to find easier less dangerous prey...change in climate and disappearance of Neanderthals typical food supply was the likely tipping point for their survival...
says the archeologist I live with...the DNA evidence is irrefutable and absolutely conclusive Neanderthals are not homo sapiens...
They are always sure that the evidence is irrefutable until something comes along and mess things up.
hard DNA tells no lies, whereas the creationists you linked to have only their opinion...DNA is irrefutable and as the knowledge/science of DNA grows the evidence strengthen more with each break through...arguing against DNA is as silly as making a case for a flat earth...
There might be hidden factors, as well as the fact that some people do lie and suppress the truth if it is not in support of what they believe.
ya and Obama wasn't born in USA, Osama is sharing a cave with Jimmy Hoffa and Elvis and the lunar landing was faked... archeologists take great delight in one upping their contemporaries, suppressing evidence is not something that works in that regards...and the same applies to DNA researchers, if they can find flaws in each others work they will do so with enthusiasm all the while driving forward the overall knowledge of DNA...any deliberate falsification of research is quickly outed in the scientific world with dire consequences for careers of those caught...
Reminds me of another species...well not perfectly analogous. But komodo dragons would bite an animal, let the animal walk on and let the poison take effect. So they would just follow until exhaustion takes effect and go for the kill. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDWSmQsvRSE[/ame]
wolves do the same, venomous snakes as well, wound and wait until the prey weakens...a common tactic in the animal world somehow we never thought of ourselves using the same tactic... as dangerous a predator the Komodo dragon is to all animals even humans their bones have turned up as after dinner rubbish of tiny Homo Floresiensis...
Oh really, there have been cases where some have either withhold evidence or put out a fake evidence. Anyone who knows enough about human nature will not be so dogmatic about what these people claim.
Yes Pete I have read that, their mouths are one big infested area of highly infectious disease,,as strong as any poison...So, I do not believe they inject anything, those germs still do their job...[I could be wrong] but if I remember correctly that's what happens...
you're correct, as with all animals their saliva/mouths are loaded with bacteria probably moreso with the Komodo...
yet you have no relevant evidence to back that up just a vague "there have been some cases"...being dogmatic is when people rely on blind faith and zero evidence to support their religiously held beliefs to try counter mountains of hard evidence to the contrary...science and religion do not mix, science relies only on hard evidence, religion relies on the absence of evidence...and when the absence of evidence method doesn't work fall back to the "conspiracy" argument... DNA researchers and archeology are unrelated fields of study, DNA researchers have nothing to gain in falsifying evidence for archeologists but everything to lose when other DNA labs examine their results and procedures, a bad or dishonest lab will get no work...typical procedure now is for specimens sent for DNA analysis are sent to several independent labs for testing to verify results...in order to have new findings accepted in the archeological community it's in the archeologists best interest to have uncontaminated specimens confirmed independently by several labs and those the best interests for each of those Labs to be as accurate as possible... For either a Archeologist or a DNA lab to falsify data is a career ending decision because in today's world of archeology and DNA research all evidence and the procedure for analyzing those results is scrutinized in fine detail ...those doing so will be found out...
There are things that are more real than what can be acquired via the five senses, but is beyond what the natural mind can understand, and it is revealed by God. So if it is not revealed to you, you are only left with an inadequate mind to try and understand what is impossible for you to know.
2 plus 2 will always equal 4 and no amount of spirituality will ever change 2 plus 2 to equal 5 merely to fit the criteria of some religious dogma... science and religion do not mix, feel free to hold any belief you choose just don't attempt to bend hard science to justify your beliefs you'll lose every time... if you were truly spiritually guided/enlightened you should have no need of scientific validity, your faith alone should suffice...I suspect you have doubts and are looking to creationist pseudoscientists to confirm your faith, it won't happen...
And there are things that 2 + 2 cannot explain. I don't need or use science to validate what I believe.
You are really good at ruining a nice thread. Why do you got to be such a dick. The (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing about flat earth in a thread like this is a dick move.
ruined the thread hmm I respond to a poster that derailed a thread regarding Sapien physical evolution into one of spirituality which I have dismissed... you're only annoyed because I've just raised the thread to technical/intellectual level where you're no longer able to contribute anything of value...
