"Most experts agree that Homo sapiens arose in Africa about200,000 years ago and had more brainpower than earlier hominid species." I never agreed with that:-)...
Marcel: It probably all depends on how you define "modern human" or what criteria you use. I think it's fair enough to say that the modern "morph" originated...
And did you notice how the "comments" quickly became a bickering game of evolution vs creationism ? I like that mantis shrimp. He'd be good on my bar-b :) Arne...
Marcel, Humor me for a moment. Imagine that two people exist side by side in Spain. One people, the Neanderatals, are, like most mammals for the last 150...
