Shit....not great news
http://popular-archaeology.com/issue/jun...erthal-rib

Quote:r the first time, a bone tumor has been found in a Neanderthal rib bone dated to about 120,000 years ago. The rib was recovered at a site near Krapina in present-day Croatia.

The tumor, a form of cancer called fibrous dysplasia, predates previous evidence of such by more than 100,000 years. Prior to this, the earliest known bone cancers were detected in samples approximately 1,000-4,000 years old.

Quote:"This case shows that Neandertals, living in an unpolluted environment, were susceptible to the same kind of cancer as living humans."

I guess disease did not start with the fucking garden of "eden."

Cancer killed all of your ancestors what old age couldn't take down by itself.

I personally took care of the badasses who cut that shit out of their creaky old bones.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Rib bone? Looks like god needed a few attempts before he figured out how to create Eve.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Eve is a cancer? I thought she'd have been a Libra.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
