CNN: Grayson calls Republicans “knuckle-dragging Neanderthals.”
Look, I really don’t want to get into the anti-Neanderthalism, though I think it’s deplorable we can’t have a political discussion in this country without people resorting to overt species-ist attacks.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Neanderthals were horndogs. Theoretically. If you’re down with the 2D:4D digit ratio anthropometic. via John Hawks, who notes it could just as well mean Neanderthals were gay. Which, now that I think of it, could explain the sudden disappearance, given the dearth of paleolithic reproductive options. OK, we return to our original programming:

Here’s something for three Irishmen to marvel at over beers on the White House lawn. Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Sgt. James Crowley may be related, according to ABC, sharing descent from a legendary 4th century Irish warrior. O’Bama, of course, hails from Moneygall.
Anyway, the racism thing didn’t pan out, but if anyone wants to find some [...]

Haven’t checked in on John Hawks’ superlative anthroblog in a while, found he’s had a makeover. That is one hip Neanderthal, with a sophisticated lifestyle.

Are the key to the GOP’s future. That’s techno-geeks, willing to learn politics, not politico-nerds, of which there is never any shortage. Mark Tapscott at the DC Examiner channels Red State’s Erickson and The Next Right’s Ruffini on the importance of techies to political movements:

Anyone think Obama doesn’t want the world to know he’s been doing pushups? Some crunches, too, by the look of it. Washington Post reports on the Secret Service’s failure to prevent this breach of national security.

OK, this is what I went to John Hawks’ superlative anthroblog for. The Neanderthal news. Chatter recently about cloning Neanderchimps, which sounds like an incredibly bad idea, and Hawks suggests they’ll end up dipping into the publicly available human DNA pool once the ethical “discussion” is over. The “Frankenstein” tag suggests Hawks is a nay [...]

As long as we’re on the subject of paleo cave-servativism. Neanderthals ate dolphins and seals. However, they didn’t carry a lot of clams around with them and operated in the ochre. via John Hawks, one smart Homo Sapiens, your one-stop spot for Neanderthal news. He’s also got your Eocenic beer.
Be sure to tune in for Hawks’ appearance in [...]

If you’re a boneheaded Neanderthal like me, Wall Street news make head hurt. Crit no Stone Age brain surgeon. But here’s more rocket science.
Betsy Newmark’s caveman, one smart Homo Sapiens, paints it easy to see on his cave wall. Crit notes “Boston” has something to do with it, and is not surprised. Boston is a great cave place [...]

The election is descending into a nonsense period. Blah blah blah Palin wears lipstick. Blah blah blah Palin dangerously believes in God. Blah blah blah Palin declares war on Russia.

Hummer Village of Norwood is where you go if you want to buy a Hummer in Massachusetts. We sent Mike Underwood there for a story on gas prices and people who don’t give a damn. They offered him a Hummer for a day. No “hummer” jokes please. I already made them all, until Underwood begged [...]

Was eating each other’s brains what killed them off or not? Superlative anthroblogger John Hawks notes 100,000 years of cranial dining suggests not. Meanwhile, I sense this is important, and Hawks finds a mystery in it, but the whole damn thing is a mystery to me. He’s also all over that Hobbit/Cretin debate. There’s a lot more on human/other [...]

And other sci-tems. The superlative anthroblogger John Hawks taps us into the issue of whether the earliest colonization of Oz was a matter of accidental vegetation* or if they strapped bits of wood together and paddled, 60,000-plus years ago. Meanwhile, in Watson news:

Romanian skull dated to plus 35,000 years could be the product of Human-Neanderthal intercave love. I’m guessing this kid got beat up a lot. By humans and Neanderthals. Because cave children can be cruel.
