I think it's most likely that we homo sapiens exterminated other hominids that coexisted with us many thousands of years ago.

If 20th century Germans wanted to exterminate other homo sapiens, and if we wage war on ourselves even today, then it seems reasonable to assume that much more primitive humans living tens of thousands of years ago could have easily hunted and exterminated other hominids.

To me this seems like the most likely explanation of what happened to the neaderthals.

That would be a good movie.

The language aspect would be challenging. I guess the homo sapiens could speak the Adamic language--with subtitles.

I already know some Adamic. I doubt it would be enough to order at a restaurant, though. I'd just end up pointing and eating whatever they brought.

radiometric dating is inaccurate. The earth is 6000 years old. Don't believe any of it. They probably just found a pig skull.

I don't subscribe to NatlGeo to listen to them guess about the latest humanoid jawbone dug up in where ever.

I don't want to subscribe to a human evolution rag. It just doesn't have anything to do with the geography of the earth or the cultures or plants/animals that live on the earth.

It seems that at least twice a year they hijack an issue with a long boring piece on Lucy's latest company. I just don't care. I'm sure this find will be on the cover soon. Please move it to a more appropriate magazine. Please.

I read this and it finally hit me: Adam wants to be the Mormon Andy Rooney.
