Ah yes, but what a way to go. Pity that cardiac treatment tends to have the opposite effect to viagra.

Yes I've seen many of the highland ladies, & prefer the coastal folk, who often have a little polynesian infusian.

Wife raids were always due to lack of marriage partners, & become so stylised, it became a tradition. My yacht was used for one of the last. They don't make boats capable of ocean voyages today. They did still have the navigtion skills, & we found our destination, using their sailing directions.

We had to sail 700 miles, to make a 450 mile trip, but it was totally fail safe. We could colour pick up a lagoon, reflected in the clouds fron 35 miles out, & probably a lot further, if we'd had more experience.

With this one, the spilling of blood was dropped, in favour of a large sing sing.

I watched the programme too. It was such a pity that like so many documentaries these days the production dubbing suite has to create so much background noise, bangs, crashes, whines, thunderous noises that totally detract from the dialogue that is often drowned out by all this cacophony.....all in the name of trying to make it dramatic I suppose.
In spite of the interesting subject, I had to switch it off. Does anyone else have the same problem ?

Is it possible that some Neanderthals survived their 'extinction'?

I've always noticed how our own Aborigines are different from us in more than just skin colour. Their bodily and facial features and proportions are not the same as ours. As is their walking gait.

Could it be that some Neanderthal people migrated all the way here some 40-50 thousand years ago and survived?

As we and they are sub-species of the same human race, that would explain how we can interbreed.

Austin Powerless,
That is absurd and preposterous. Even for you!
I suggest you think it through.

I think you will find them in the current federal opposition

examinator, I did think it through. Did you? Or are you just reacting because it's not 'PC'?

Anyway, it's just a theory based on my own admittedly limited observations. I may be right, I may be wrong. If someone came up with rock solid proof to the opposite, I would abandon it.
