[Neoma]

11. I just wanted to know the last thing we evolved from...

Not THAT far back.

[Neoma]

12. Unless you could give me a time line that is factual.

[RPM]

10. primordial ooze

[sakabatou]

13. Either Homo sapiens or Cro-Magnon

[rogerashton]

16. We are homo sapiens

and we are cro-magnon (even though some of us, me for instance, look pretty Neanderthal.)

It is controversial whether Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon ("anatomically modern," us) are the same species or, if not, whether Neanderthal was a link.

[Deja Q]

17. And I thought I was just a homo

sexual.

:evilgrin:

[sakabatou]

20. I thought we were homo sapiens sapiens...

:shrug:

[rogerashton]

21. that would be a SUBspecies

and is the view of those who think of Neanderthal as a distinct subspecies of the same species, Homo sapiens Neanderthalensis.

Understand, this is what I, not a biologist, remember as best I can of what biologists think. I AM married to a biologist, but I ain't one myself.

Isn't there anyone with specialized knowlege of human evolution and paleontology on this board? SOS!

[Seabiscuit]

14. Amoebas.

[VOX]

15. Chimpus Fuckedupticus.

:evilgrin:

[kick-ass-bob]

18. Do you think monkeys ever get pissed

that we got the better evolution track than they did? Sure, they get to swing in trees and eat bananas all day, but do you think they get miffed that we control the world and they don't? I mean, one little wrong turn and it's off to oblivion for them.

Jus wunderin...

:P
