Very interesting and informative thread.

Some of the first things that popped into my mind while reading it made me think of dogs and their life spans. Usually the bigger the dog the shorter the life span and the smaller the dog the longer the life span. The other thing that popped into my head was the information you put forth on how a lot of the ancient statues and painting seem to depict the Neanderthal.

I'm not sure to if there was interbreeding, but it could definitely be a possibility, once again relating how different dog species can interbreed and create new breeds. Back to my point though, is how it seems these people from these ancient cultures seemed to either lookup to these Neanderthals or maybe even the Neanderthals were the "kings" or "gods" of the day.

If we were to ponder upon the possibility of interbreeding, it would seem maybe the interbreed species were found to be more attractive and the Neanderthal was naturally bread out of existence. Or maybe for other purposes such as during medieval times how royal families were incestuous in order to keep the bloodline intact and they naturally bread themselves out of existence.

One thing I can say is that there are a lot of gaps to fill, as your thread clearly lays out.

When I joined ats a couple years ago this is the type of thread I gravitated toward. There has been a lack of quality work like this lately. Thanks for bringing it back hardcore.

There were most definitely giants in those days.

I'm not sure about some of the small sculptures of people you presented as being neanderthal hybrids. Most of them just look like poor representations of the human form. The mayan paintings of themselves and also the easter island heads however are almost dead ringers for neanderthals.

I think you may have hit the nail on the head here. I believe the more people look into this, more proof will come to light that history may have went down exactly like you have laid out.

Thank you for curing my boredom for a while !!

Strict..

Great detail and comparison, so much to look into and great how it wraps up too! Close to how I view it all, we just don't know but every day we find a little more insight on what the missing link might be.
Had to compliment, no gotta go back to reading.

Yeah I tried my best to get as much as possible in but it got to a point where it was just impossible to cover it completely in just one thread.

Wow, what a wonderful thread!

I've always questioned our evolutionary path and since that missing link hasn't been found yet, it's open for speculation. Plus, the Cro-Magnon man has always intrigued me and you pretty much put the pieces together. I'm studying to become an Anthropologist, so hopefully I'll be able to find something essential related to our past. It's late and I have class in the morning. I'll add my 2 cents later today -it's just so interesting seeing the variety of phenotypical traits among modern and ancient man.

You're telling me I should retire?

What if, just what if?

Real history is more like the Flintstones than any of us really imagined?

What if they used dinosaurs to lift those stones?

Hey, it's not impossible. Although it appears rather improbable, there is still a slight chance that could be what happened. In fact, I really like the hypothesis because it's out of the box and explains the mystery in a simple straight-forward fashion.

Also take into consideration all of the anomalous artifacts found with depictions of dinosaurs on them. There just might be something to the Flintstones after all!
