Women in charge

[glenn forger]

It is womens' empathy that allowed to us be caring. We are a tribal species, empathy is essential for survival, women empathise better than men do, IMO.

Filth.

Some women can be extremely 'difficult' and unreasonable, for some reason they are fine when they are in control, then as soon as the guy takes control they react aggresively, then when they realize who is boss they are fine again and actually like it. Bit like a dog getting to big for it's boots really

I entered my collie at Crufts. Got six months suspended.

 

[BigonaBianchi]

so why do some women still have huge hooters then?

Arguably it is man's agression that helped us evolve.

Not all animals are aggressive, yet they all evolve.

Man's aggression is about procuring mating rights. Right across the animal kingdom, where the male is significantly bigger than the female of the species, it's because the males compete aggressively with one another in order to spread their seed. Animals that don't compete aggressively for mating rights don't exhibit a significant difference in size/bulk.. yet they still evolve.

Neanderthal noses protruded?

..erm...but size doesn't matter right?

we have moved on a lot since we were just another animal.... even short skinny blokes can procreate these days.

[QUOTE 2779564, member: 1314"]Imagine the early days of humans – we had big, big, big noses that protruded. Big noses were important so that we could smell enemies coming our way, killer wolves and bears and stuff.

Dogs would hang around, scavenging for meaty left-overs around the edges of the camp fires. When a human enemy approached the dogs acted as an alarm, so they became an important ally. That’s how our relationship with dogs began. We benefited from dogs’ guard dog abilities, dogs get food and warmth.

What this meant, of course, is that human’s no longer needed to have big noses for smelling, so the modern skull developed. This meant that we could then speak more eloquently, in turn leading to a bigger brain.

That is why primates will not evolve further as their skull features do not allow them to enunciate as humans can.

So – dogs, innit[/quote]
One very small part of evolution. Agression is another. Without it, we wouldn;t have evolved.

 

[glenn forger]

None of us would be here if they all died out. They evolved.

(Smaller than mine.)

Isn't that Keith Richards?

Neanderthal noses protruded?

 

[glenn forger]

Ooooh, didn't know that, thought the missing link was a myth.

This is a very meandering thread.

I can't get no European Upper Paleolithic modern human specimens.

Yebbut what about hipsters then?
