Given the growing evidence that Sapiens maintained dark skin quite a long time after entering Europe, I believe the current hypothesis is that it was the onset of agriculture that caused the adaptation to lighter skin. When they spread into Europe their dark skin was indeed less able to provide Vit-D from UV but the diet of a hunter-gatherer of the Palaeolithic was extremely diverse and rich in nutritional sources of the vitamin. Entering the Neolithic (maybe Meso'?) and the diet changes considerably to be much less diverse due to a social shift towards agricultural life, leading particularly

The first example where they take humans from different continents and compare them is not analogous to comparing a chimp with a human. You can literally have half Asian half European or whatever and in fact you essentially get that at the geographical borders, like the middle East. You cannot have half chimp half humans. There's a hard and difinitve biological line drawn.

I'm scared!

Ah yes, the distinctive alarm call of the homo homo pygmius.
-
Pretty much yeah. Much of the world does, with the exception of subsaharan Africans. Well they might have a trace amount.
-
f****d if I know. Lol
-
Earlier in the thread you were compared to valuev, as the opposite end of the species spectrum. We then decided you were in fact the previously undiscovered homo homo pygmius....
-
Yeah but in the grand scheme of things the successive waves of Sapiens were too close together to have given time for much divergence to have occurred. Maybe the low tens of thousands of years right? Whereas the hominids that went on to become Neanderthal left Africa hundreds of thousands of years before Sapiens did. We've established what you are by the THL peer review system. Ketchup will inform you in due course.
-
If we get into the nitty gritty, whether Neanderthal was a Hominid species or a Sapien sub-species is hotly contested argument. For that matter so is the actual definition of 'species'. Generally these days the production of fertile offspring isn't considered necessary. Hell, if you really want to open a can of worms, what constitutes a life-form is up for grabs still. Viruses for example go from life to death with the scientific winds!
-
I understood you to be saying that Dutch and Chinese remains would be considered separate species if we applied the same systems of classification? And I'm saying I think that's wrong. The difference between any modern human/Sapien population is small compared to the difference between Neanderthal and Sapien. Of course the more Neanderthal remains that are found the more accurate our understanding of what the 'average' neanderthal looked like will be but we have sufficient data to be sure they were indeed more different than what Chinese and Dutch people are or whatever. And once you have mapp
-
I think that's an incorrect assumption. As I said, you're reducing the field of taxonomy to very few variables, height and weight, when in truth it takes into account many measurements. Chinese and Dutch populations can certainly be differentiated but not so much as to make them different species.
-
But you're reducing taxonomy to literally two variables, you can't do that and get a sensible conclusion. Large Sapiens will have more in common with small and average Sapiens than they will with other Hominid species and subspecies. It's like saying a small coyote is a fox. The genes that change the appearance of an individual are only part of their genome. It's not the be all and end all. For example there's more genetic diversity in the continent of Africa than there is across the rest of the world and yet we erroneously consider 'African' a race because of the most striking morphologi

I'll grant you she was probably the next stage of evolution!
-
With respect mate, you haven't a clue what you're talking about. You're just rubbishing and trolling people's work because it doesn't fit your world view. And now you're being ridiculous. We might as well be sitting here arguing that a fox and a wolf are the same.
-
That's cos they are ya nugget! I told ya already Homo means human.

It's terrible!......... But I did laugh. It's so wrong it's funny.

Elbows? On a regular back squat? Nah, lol. I don't know if it's a 'thing' but with higher volume stuff I'll sometimes do what might best be described as a crucifix stance, arms straight out and running along the bar wrapped around slightly overhand. It's not as stable which is why I wouldn't use it for heavy stuff but I find it more comfortable in higher reps. That would take all the tension out of you elbows, might help? Either that or try one of those safety squat bar things, that'll bring your elbows forward a bit reducing the stress.
-
Talking of pygmies, the other day I read that the the Bronx Zoo had a f***ing pygmy on exhibition that was pinched from his tribe in Africa as recently as 1906! Poor c**t! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ota_Benga No one tell BLM!
-
Oddly enough, the same visit I took those I saw the finest female Homo Sapien specimen I think I've ever laid eyes on. Though the fact she was in a museum might have compromised my scientific objectivity!
-
The natural history museum has some pretty cool exhibits

If you spend a lot of time sitting in tractors/trucks/chairs etc, (particularly I find if you slouch back rather than lean forward) it tends to tighten your hips up and favour a forward tilt which leads to an exaggerated arch in the lower back. So some hip and lower back stretches are good to consider too. Just daily/weekly routine stuff to try to keep everything pointed the right way and loose. I'm terribly inflexible and do get little niggles like you so it's stuff I'm trying to remedy.
-
Between sets I'll often do dead hangs and also lie on a bench with my shoulder blades almost hanging off with arms stretched right out almost touching the floor, it opens up all the ribs and seems to 're-set' my shoulder blades stopping the clicking and crunching. They're good things to do no matter what your lifestyle imo.
-
It'll need a new set of ATs this winter and I was think of going up a size to give an extra inch on the tyres radius and then fitting a spacer lift to the struts to give a bit more. Then yeah, maybe do as you say keep it for what it's for and get a clean hatchback for nice. -
Yeah sure, you and I are examples of Homo Sapiens whereas Stig of the dump is an example of a Homo Neanderthalensis. I'm not an anthropologist, I couldn't do it justice. I mean, we're all talking about dna on here right, we all believe dna exists, but I bet not one of us has a comprehensive understanding of genetics/alleles etc.

Homo homo, the original homo!
