Noticed something interesting about Stevenson tonight ...

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

I just studied human origins as a young man, and paranthropus boisei happens to be a very distinctive looking member of the human tree.

Thats interesting. I have never heard of such thing. But thanks to you I have something new to read about.

anthropology really offends people

Well if it's for science, then that changes everything.

Again, I apologize. I really ran right into the dumba$$ tree with this thread. And, of course, there is a catastrophic historical link between "science" and racism. I just meant that I don't look at paranthropus boisei and think "ape." Rather, I think of it as human, and more generally, this was an area of intellectual interest for me. I really did not consider the potential interpretation and implication of the post.

It can be touchy territory, evidently.

This is comedy gold.

Faux par's are amusing.

Moron's that think they can play the race card over and in between different species is a another level of funny that i don't believe there is a word for yet.

Whats wrong with society? Not ts. All these little baby ass ****** calling racism at the drop of a hat.

This is actually a very interesting thread. I can see the similarities and what the OP is truly trying to get. Most "men" are so sensitive nowadays though, it's disgusting.

No you're right, he looks like a monkey.

EDIT: As some have found my comparison between Stevenson's physical appearance and that of one particular human ancestor species inappropriate, I have removed the pictures. But, for those intrigued, look up photos of paranthropus boisei, both reconstructions and skulls. The skulls feature a sagittal crest, which looks like a little mohawk. In no way did I mean to compare Stevenson to a pre-**** human being in any terms other than physical. I offer my sincerest apologies to those I have offended with my very myopic post.

daaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN HOMIE YOU WENT IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TS you seem pretty knowledgeable about this subject

What is the evolutionary purpose of that "ridge" on the head? Was it used as a weapon? Or maybe for chopping down trees to get food?
