Funny how the million strong herds of bison that roamed the entire North American continent from what is now Canada down to Southern Mexico didn't have the same effect.

But I forget, history only started 30 years ago...

More trivia!

I recall that, several years ago, there was a move to do away with the term "Homo Sapien" (Wise Man), as it could be construed to be derogatory toward "Homo Neanderthalensis" (Man from the Neander Valley).[wink11]

I wouldn't think so, 4bee, as the Neanderthal species died out 40,000 years ago and there are 'Knuckledraggers' in existence today, on this planet and still breeding.

Contrary to the popular beliefs, Neanderthals are believed to have been quite intelligent and capable of speech, and to have created art, which places them higher on the evolutionary scale than some of the "Knuckledraggers" I have encountered.

just a thought arising from a previous post I made......
