| #8 Jimmy Durante might have had a little. Look at a picture. And I understand "Inka Dinka Doo" and "I ain't got no bananas today" might have been old Neanderthal tunes. Try the veal, I'll be here all week. |

| #5 Fem-aliens. That's not a typo, AS, is it? ;-) |

| #4 First off, I didn't know that Anatole France, or Homo Sapiens, were really considered all that bright, so it still looks to me like there's a brain size/intelligence correlation going on. Although you do have to start throwing your theories out when it comes to the femaliens. |

| #2 Well, wimmen have smaller head too, and yet, they always get the upper hand over me. This is where my 5% neanderthal let me down. |

| #1 Of course there is. When I look into mirror, the pronounced brow is the telltale. No occipical ridge, though, beside two large bumps in the back of my skull. Neanderthals had larger cranial capacity than todays's sapiens sapiens. In fact, the Cromagnon had a bigger head too, albeit smaller than the Neanderthal. Neanderthal avrg. ~ 1750 ccm Cromagnon avrg. ~ 1600 ccm Modern Human avrg. ~ 1450 ccm Our heads are shrinking. But don't be alarmed. Anatole France had 1311 ccm, while some barely functioning idiot had 2034 ccm. Apparently, what matters is how you use what you've got. |
