Hunter gatherer populations were sedentary in the more productive areas. These areas have subsequently been taken by agiculture and hunter gatherers are left with less productive areas which enforce a ...

what on earth did you mean by "Agriculturally-based societies are an advance on hunter-gatherer societies"?
It depends which way you look at it. The first farmers were less well nourished ...

I am glad you are amazed, I am amazed by your argument...

What are you going to believe, Martin? Carefully designed and controlled scientific tests which produce the same result with devastasting r ...

The Mapuche of, what is now, southern Chile were conquered by the Spanish. They were subjugated and became part of Chile. However their language Mapudungan is still widely spoken, especially in the so ...

In every case, test subjects tended to prefer the composite average face than any of the real-world faces from which the data was compiled. In essence, the test subjects rewarded the genes that kept c ...

The fossil record tells us that living things do not change.
Is this not another paradigm. How do we know this? Horseshoe crabs? Of the hundred thousand or so fossil species how many are found today ...

Despite the best efforts of the invaders, the indigenous populations of Peru and Bolivia still speak Quechua the language of the Incas. The language they have always spoken.

And in England...

Surely a small population will breed out much variation. Inbreeding in this population will lead any particular gene to either die out or dominate.

If we accept that evolution occurs due to mutations in genetic material passed from generation to generation. Then surely we are changing from generation to generation. Changing and evolving.

Surely living things are evolving constantly, through each generation. Nothing is standing still. When two animals diverge both will change from that moment on. To find a living ancestor is akin to fi ...

Isn't it the medieval form of Dennis/Denis?

He signed himself Guido Fawkes. Was he also known as Guy? Or was this something that happened after the event?

During animal domestication brain size reduces. This is usually ascribed to a reduction in sensory perception. Could there be a connection to Neanderthal brain size?

It wasn't western Eurasia at the time but northern Eurasia
I thought they found them in Gibraltar, Portugal and upwards.

I think they are called hox genes. There were some women who had hox mutations they had strange hands and feet plus no uterus. A bum deal.
Some very early land animals had eight digits, for example A ...
