Study Says Early Humans Got Their Freak On Cross-Species
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/02/humans-mated-with-denisovan_n_1070221.html

'New research suggests that early humans mated with both Neanderthals as well as Denisovans, a recently-discovered early human species. Genomes from Denisovans, a third early human species, were originally traced to the people of Oceania, but further investigation reveals that genomes can also be found among East Asia populations, the Telegraph reports.'

'Mattias Jakobsson, a professor of evolutionary biology at Uppsala University in Sweden, estimates that the human and Denisovan interbreeding took places between 23,000 to 45,000 years ago, LiveScience points out. "We were evolving for a little while, then isolated, then mixed again," Jakobsson said, according to Wired Science.'

2. Modern leaders can't explain magnetism or gravity
let alone the evolution of species.

6. They can't even explain the Adam & Eve offspring
I mean, if Adam & Eve were the first two human beings, and they had two sons (Cain & Abel), then where in Hell did those boyOs find the wives they married?

Huh? Riddle me that one, BatWanker?

10. I'd be very surprised if love had much to do with it.
More likely it involved raiding neighboring tribes and taking their women.

There's nothing so weird that someone in SF hasn't played with the idea at one time or another.
