Yeah, I never believed it either :-) I just remember hearing someone
claiming it _could_ have happened. Since I can't even remember who, I
can't say how much credibility the guy would have had.

Following that scenerio, I know exactly where and who the "missing
link" is....I swear, the person I know has to be that missing link'
he is just one of a kind, just to see him walk and work and the way
he carries himself and his way of thinking he just has to be
it..........and no he is not handicapped in anyway.

Oh, that has been one of the standard arguments for quite some time. And some
still hold to it. Truth be told, I don't think all of the evidence completely
eliminates the possiblity, but the DNA evidence is pretty convincing.

Even if air is a better insulator than water, you are ignoring the
fact that the water is insulated by the ground and the water on the
top of my pond will not be colder than the air right above my pond.
To insulate with cold air vs. warmer water is the comparison. Another
factor regarding insulation- the water/cover is, in fact, "leak-proof"
since it is resting on the surface. Any barrier you build is going to
have some outside air seeping in.

air is better insulator. that is why our jackets have pockets filled with feathers
hold dead air and not pockets filled with water. in air the molecules are very far
apart and dont conduct well. makes em good insulator. Ingrid


Water is a better insulater than air.

Derek you give up too easily. ;o) The website posted just said "probably
never" and the word "theory" was tossed around, no proof there. Personally
all I have to say is the proof is in "Monday Night Football", imnsho. Then
there is always "The Clan of the Cave Bear" theory/book. ) ~ jan

Well, according to Science Daily we got close enough to catch crabs
from them.

or head lice at least.

oh.. they are same species. I was talking about "looks" and ability to survive in
the wild. lots of feral dogs make it in the wild. and wolf-dog hybrids are common.

You can get head lice from sleeping in the same place where someone who has them
last slept. And just because people have slept in the same place, doesn't mean
that those persons had sex together. The fact is that the DNA doesn't indicate
that there is a close genetic link between the two species.

It's called the "smoking louse", and it is actually H. Sapiens and H.
Erectus that are involved. I didn't get all the details, but the point was
that head lice are _extremely_ specialized parasites. You can catch head
lice from another person a lot more easily than sleeping in the same bed,
but I believe they said that you can't catch head lice from a chimpanzee.

Their theory wasn't that the two species had had sex, just that they had to
have lived in close enough proximity to pass each other the lice, and that
they had to be genetically close enough to share the parasite.
