See writings (if still on internet) by Stan Gooch on the subject of Neanderthals. He was considered a crackpot for insisting all along that we have Neanderthal blood (southeast Europeans and southwest Asians especially). He attributed the cruelty and aggression of Nordic races to having too LITTLE Neanderthal blood in our veins, and trying to suppress what we have. (Hence obsessive dread of possession by dark alter egos, as in werewolves, Jeckyll/Hyde, etc.) Neanderthals had huge brains but arranged differently — more dreamy and spaced-out and benign. |

Interesting topic Doug and Chelydra. Let's fight about it. I get on political blogs sometimes and at least half of the folks have no intention of listening or compromising. Just ranting. I blow off steam sometimes, but get over it. I wish we could evolve to a more peaceful human race, but it seems to just get worse. |

Che. Stan Gooch - wow. Freud, Jung, Neitche, paranormal research et al. I'd love to be in his mind for an hour. Do you recommend a specific book of his? |

Qsliv should write an illustrated book of aphorisms, no? |

Chelydra. Thanks for that. I wonder if Cro and Neandra were Adam and Eve. I want to check out his take on paranormal research. This guy's a trip. Off to the library. |

giraffe: In response to your comment about animals not fighting to the death unless overcrowded....I think that's called "survival of the fittest" and lends more towards keeping a particular population flourishing and getting rid of inferior ones. Hmmmmmm. Seems like "war" if you really break it down to root causes becomes a "survival of the fittest" mentality. |

Only problem with that thought Doug is that it's typically the fittest (ei: soldiers) who end up getting killed in wars leaving the old, weak and sick at home to survive them. (Unless, of course, the war is right in the homesteads) |

Man is an enigma-- He simply, for all his knowledge , never learns from his mistakes. Each man ( and woman) wants to be top dog. |

mrsjesus: A very strong emotional story, very well written and always welcome here at ThinkWrite. I'd like to see what you could do with this ThinkWrites' word list, but your submissions are always welcome. |

mrsjesus - there's a real gift operating in there... in particular I'm struck by your way of introducing squalor at the very beginning, rather than introducing it later for tawdry shock increments. The increments instead are a kind of spiraling upward and outward... from a teaspoon and a bug and a smear... into an awareness... of love... opalescent light... deeper sacrifice... ever stronger respect... |

I agree, MrsJ. I'd like to see what you'd do with the current word list. |
