But they may have used other drugs, right?
Vaporizers haven't been found. So they probably stashed them carefully. :bong:

Makes you wonder who took the first hit and when.... that Neanderthal looked as if he'd have done a box of Kitkats no problemo....

They were about as ugly as you could get and they knew it. Yet smarter and stronger than saps. They baby swapped themselves out of existence. :coffee:

The haired neanderthal theory never crossed my mind until I read about it. Asking why wouldn't a cold adapted hominid have fur is a valid question.
The next supposition that Neanderthal were yeti / big foot would be less surprising than a true missing ape related link.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.
