    Not long after a study indicated that modern humans may have ate neanderthals, new evidence shows another case where a neanderthal was most likely killed by his human neighbour.
    The wound that ultimately killed a Neanderthal man between 50,000 and 75,000 years was most likely caused by a thrown spear, the kind modern humans used but Neanderthals did not, according to Duke University-led research.

    'What we've got is a rib injury, with any number of scenarios that could explain it,' said Steven Churchill, an associate professor of evolutionary anthropology at Duke. 'We're not suggesting there was a blitzkrieg, with modern humans marching across the land and executing the Neanderthals. I want to say that loud and clear.'

    But Churchill's analysis indicates the wound was from a thrown spear, and it appears that modern humans had a thrown-weapons technology and Neanderthals didn't. 'We think the best explanation for this injury is a projectile weapon, and given who had those and who didn't that implies at least one act of inter-species aggression.'

    That was the way it was back then. Women were so ugly, that mankind evolved so that they would still reproduce with these ugly women. Thus, they did not have to look at them during 'the act'. This then caused Women to evolve into the beautiful creatures they are now. Then, mens heads evolved into the position they are now, due to constantly trying to look at the beauty they had conquered. FACT.*


    *May not actually be fact
