The Laschamp event and the demise of Neanderthals

You are hurting Po' Lil' Perry's feeling, Cypress. Shame on you. LOL

No one's hurt my feelings but I understand you and Cy need me to be angry or hurt or something.


Here's a pro-tip for ya: you guys are meaningless to me as people. Ergo your "opinions" of me are exactly meaningless to me. I do find you a bit funny and I love talking to you. I mean It's COMEDY GOLD to hear you tell your story of your non-near-death NDE. Or to see @Cypress piss himself trying to sound hyper-erudite while clearly knowing next to nothing about the topics.


So rest assured, you aren't angering me or hurting me. You are an endless source of entertainment.


I cannot get enough of laughing at Cy's repeated attempts to sound smarter than he is. And I find your non-stop defense of Cy touching. You two really love each other. You should hook up IRL.

Do you own JPP? Is that why you never get modded or kicked off for being one of the worst humans (apart from Hume) on the forum?

No, son. The fact you don't understand the reference is why I know you don't have a higher education.

Oh, Perry. You can fool yourself and maybe even bullshit some of the dumber people on JPP, but you can't fool most people.

It is SO important to you. So if you need it to be, by all means believe what you will.

I mean you actually believe you had a near-death experience without being near death, so I suspect you are capable of believing a LOT of stuff. You seem overly credulous for an adult. But it takes all kinds.

Well, good for you! You had your little inside joke there and I'm sure among the glitterati that make up your circles it landed and brings gales of laughter.

In your meth salons I'm sure you are the Oscar Wilde of toothless hillbillies.

What is important to me, Perry?

I was 16. It left an impression. Why does something that happened before you were born disturb you so much, son?

What inside joke? Why are you so upset, son?

LOL Please tell me more about your experience with "meth salons" and "toothless hillbillies". Family relations? People you know from your "home"? I'm sincerely curious. Please tell me more. :)

Pedo Don can push the United States back a hundred years but he can't do the same for the entire world. I suspect the rest of the world will just move past us. Sad.

Goid point! Let's hope the French keep funding!

I don't think paleoanthropology and paleomagnetism at the academic level are ever very well funded.

Scientists have to get creative to acquire funding!

The only direct experience I have with paleomagnetic research was collecting field samples in the South American Andes for a paleomagnetic study. The lead scientist on the study got some money from a South American state oil company, because he convinced them there would be collateral benefits for oil exploration in that area.

Ha, good times!

Yet ANOTHER "illegal" quotebox alteration.

FTFY... he can alter the box with that notification that it is altered...

Perry, like a few other members, isn't very bright nor well educated. IMO, he's a little cray-cray too.

An alternative that I've seen is that Neanderthals failed to develop ranged weapons like the bow and group tactics beyond close in takedowns of animals.

As the Ice Age ended, the taiga in Europe became more and more open forest and grassland. This meant that the Neanderthals were at a distinct disadvantage in hunting animals now in the open. Making things worse, the Homo Sapiens invented means to drive large herds of animals into slaughter pens by using low walls and ranged weapons like bows or javelins rather than handheld spears like the Neanderthals used.

This quickly led to a decline in the animal population and the Neanderthals starved. The two species weren't in direct competition but rather one dominated by invention while the other stagnated.

How were the Andes? I've never been. My travels in South and Central America are limited.

It appears we lost Perry. It must be past his bedtime or curfew. Maybe like Trump Dummy he only has limited computer privileges?

The Andes were like another world. Nothing at all like the Rockies, Sierras, or Cascades.
Perry probably got exhausted and took an exit. He spent hours frantically googling and doing Google research to try to prove me wrong, but it blew up in his face and so all that work went for naught.

What was different about the Andes? No pine trees?

Among his other problems, Perry is OCD and, no doubt, it can be tiring spinning himself up into a frenzy.

Some of it is forested at lower elevations. Not any trees at higher elevations or where there is rain shadow.
Two things really stunned me. The astonishing topographic relief, and the colors, red, brown, gold, green.

Very cool. Was it the dry season or winter? Any pictures?

Collecting paleo-magnetic samples isn't very exciting, but what appreciated the most was being able to travel around on down times and experience the culture and people.

Rev. Dr. Lynn Harold Hough writing about Paul: "He wanted his friends to realize that life is a journey and not a destination; that the heart must be set upon those matters of character which are eternal and not upon those matters of sensation which pass away."

It's good to have such a memorable trip. :thup:
