if u... notice..

How do you know caves are stupid? Have you ever given one an IQ test? Who knows, they might surprise you! Lots of things like to hang out with caves.

Hmm, well, if you were to raise a caveman today, would it have the same IQ as your modern homo sapiens?

I don't know, if not, maybe that means houses have a better IQ than caves. So caves would be stupid. Houses intelligent.

Side note, this became the actual #1 most replies a topic has received on the Finder page. By quite a high margin lol.

Well, scholars debate over the intelligence of Neanderthal, plus the idea that some of them interbred with Homo Sapiens, so ... maybe?

(note the people annoyed by the fun we are having - must be jealous)

And only to happy to contribute to number one status LOL

Hmm, well it would seem they were actually more intelligent, also had better vision and were more robust, but lacked the ability to pronounce as many phonemes. Thus communication took longer than us for the same exchange of information. Seems that they were more focused on individual survival as well, so that makes sense their senses evolved the way they seemingly did. So homo sapiens just evolved more quickly because of their ability to transmit information more quickly, and being more sociable, working together etc.

Huh. Of course, I guess this is nothing confirmed in stone, but the more you know aha. Makes sense to me at least.

And yeah, it's all fun ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Yes, and let's not forget the Denisovians - no one is too sure about their level of intelligence, but while they did not seem to interact with Neanderthal, they did so with early Homo Sapiens, so perhaps they fall on the scale some where between the two? Not much is yet known about them, but I try to follow any new research on them too.

Ah, wasn't much aware of their existence aha.

How they're supposedly "sweet loving" makes me think of the Bonobos. Shin Sekai Yori, an anime, is what piqued my curiosity about them at first aha. To keep peace they tried to mimic them by having teenagers have sexual relationships with the same sex. The anime was a bit complex and hard to follow sometimes though aha.

Anyway, chimpazees and Bonobos are the two closest primates to the human genetically-wize. Bonobos are even a slightly bit more close to us than chimpanzees. We had a common ancestor waaaaaaay back. It probably was some sort of mix of all three, I guess.

Bonobos resolve conflicts through erm, love and sex. It seems their sexual practices are quite - maybe disturbingly so - similar to humans. Ventral to ventral sex, fellations etc. whatever pleases. But they do it very much more times every day lol.

Incidentally, they're all bisexual. Which by the way, could very much explain homosexuality today?

So I wonder, maybe they had behaviors that were more in sync with the bonobo side than we do. And we're somewhere in the middle. Maybe.

Which does make me think there may very be something wrong with our tendency to cage people's sexuality. Had to rely maybe a bit too much to the chimpanzee way in those cases, war!

As for their intelligence, the Denisovians, hmm, maybe. But then again, maybe their intelligence developed in yet another way.

So much mysteries (〜￣△￣)〜

For sure, genetic markers of the Denisovians only show up today in humans from Eastern Europe and the Pacific Rim, so there can't have been many, or perhaps the just did not breed as well as the other two species.
As for the Bonobos, despite the fact that chimps are closer in DNA, perhaps at one time some Bonobo mixed in with Chimp and the genetic markers are too obscure? I don't know, just theorizing.
Personally, I like Plato's old theory about how humans used to have four legs, four arms, a single head with two faces and how the two were split apart but remained soulmates. Then there were the three genders male/female, male/male and female/female - which explained early same sex attraction. That is just the romantic in me though ... but what if ...?

From shotacon to politics and finally to evolution theories. This is fantastic! What will we have next? Our favorite novels and movies? ヾ(☆▽☆)

That character book was made back in yhe beginning of the story so you take 35 and 23 as the beginning,and add more to those...

Also yhe time passed is kind of one year or 2,but sensei said she still pictures m as 23 and 4
35 forever

Thank you for your compliment" just like Donald' I don't mind it at all. Bites does not directly reply Bec. she/ he does not have to. I don't have to post the data bec. I've live it. I don't need stats and data , my life is my data. What you really are after is an apology. my country is better than yours fight shit. You are not going to get that from me. You don't like America, fine. I get it. I'm not going to make it easy for you. I'm also not going to waste my time defending what you can't understand.I don't care what you think. I'm not here for you Nnene or toki. Is that direct enough for you both? I don't need your approval this is not the socialist zone . I am still allowed to my OP even if the 2 of you don't like it. I don't care one bit. You can gang up on me all you want to. I may not be on a lot. there is a reason for that. I buried my bro. just 4 weeks ago. It hit my family hard, So I may not be on to read the 1 of your love notes all the time, I will reply. Esp. to you Nnene. You show you care so much thanks.

"maybe that means houses have a better IQ than caves."

Is that what they mean by a smart house?

I'm enjoying it.

I just saw Howard Lovecraft which is CGI and not at all anime, but good if you like Lovecraft. But it's funny and child-friendly. There is a tentacle monster, but nothing yaoi fans would have to worry about.

Ahem, I just responded because you called me "mis educated" on your imports of oil lol. The rest, do feel free to not answer.

I know you live in a bubble but-

Who cares about your country being the best or not? I sure don't even care if Canada is the best. Why is that every american you talk to brings that up? xD

Ugh. Well at least I have only little hope Russia succeeds their clean-up operation Which are the only ones here even invited in the said country, by the way. The US, France and UK are totally not, and dropping bombs all the time anyway. Imagine how terrorizing that is in the first place.

By the way, do you think they're randomly targeting France lately? Is that what most Americans think?

Anyway, here we go, terrorism will increase and spread into Europe; and mass immigration from Syria and that area to Europe will continue; and acts of terrorism on European soil will magically justify endless war, internal lock-down, wholesale surveillance, detention without trial, and troops on the street.

The west has become utterly corrupt and has become a threat to humanity. The US is leading it.

But yeah, let's all just wait until that blows up for good.

Wow, what arrogance - and a superiority complex. You, sir/madam are a credit to the current Republican party of the US. Congratulations!
Condolences on your loss, though, guess that excuses you?

Although you make good points, people are people--not just western powers or the US. Wars have existed throughout known history. People with power exploit those who have less. If the US and Europe were suddenly sucked into a different universe, the remaining countries would scramble for power--and some would do horrible things to each other. It doesn't make it right--but it's a trait common to all people and cultures. It's not something the West invented.

It's not that I think my country has to be the best, or that I approve of everything it does, but it's more that I see the good as well as the bad, and that I don't think any other country would be much better if it were in the same position. I think power corrupts, and usually, people act in their own best interests even at others' expense. There are some shining moments when some people rise above that, but most of the time, that's just how the world is.

What I find sickening are people turning a blind eye on it and going along with demonizing Russia and ISIS while thinking who they're supporting are so much better.

So I just call things what they are. "How the world is" is the same petty mentality that people use to justify piracy. Only here it's at quite the grand scale, but people treat it the same it would seem. And then whine a relative died to justify giving no fucks about others not related to them dying. We're humans, humans are bad, let's never strive for a better world.

Of course elites will be elites. Maybe I should just say "US elites" if that can avoid any confusion.

So switch them out as often as possible to reduce the impacts. It doesn't take a genius. Even here corruption creeps in when it's been too many years a party has been in power. The mafia's wet dream.

Anyway, one thing.

The subtext from the US elites was clear years ago: if Europeans don’t want to take part, terrorist attacks will be allowed or contrived until they acquiesce.

Terrorists, which they practically spawn on purpose.

And it seems very likely that they're using the whole refugees going everywhere in Europe to attempt to remodel the Middle East. They're emptying it. If they go away without having to murder them, all the better.

Heck, retired US General Wesley Clarke, in 2007, stated that the U.S. had "unilaterally decided to destroy Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran".

Thing is, Europeans want to be French, German, Dutch, Italian, Hungarian, Czech, British. They do not want their countries to be a diverse "Tower of Babel created by millions of refugees from Washington’s wars". That's another thing waiting to blow up.

Russia is in fact the only country country involved to date which has the removal of ISIS as an actual goal. And with a legitimate mandate from the government.

Of course, it's also out of self-interests, but you know. The US elites don't give as much of a damn as they want people to believe. They just feed the fear mongering as a way to continue their mess.

And people want to vote for the #1 elitist, which of course no matter what is said now to get votes will continue this terror. Wow.

I like your quote about power corrupting, but John Lehman said it a little better "Power corrupts, absolute power is kind of neat" - I don't really have much else to contribute, just remembered this saying, LOL

Hee hee. That's one way to look at it. To bring it back to Yaoi, it's kind of like wanting a seme to be sorry for taking advantage of a uke. I'm not saying most semes could not behave better--but if you are waiting for an apology, you may be disappointed.

What's stupid is people want two Korea as one. Different topic but gosh I hate when foreigners think reunifying the "bunny" will be like Germany which it won't. These NK are such two faced traitors.

"If you know your enemy and you know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself you will succumb in every battle." The Art of War

The US has often been guilty of misjudging the enemy--or focusing on one enemy to the point of ignoring another. But ISIS is hardly a morally superior actor in this mess. Neither is Russia. And like it or not, it is the way the world works. You can be morally outraged as much as you want, but power games are nasty and brutal, no matter who the players are.
