What does this tell us about Human Nature?
This one is out of an article in the Times.
"The study, reported in the journal Science, was greeted by scientists as almost certain confirmation that modern humans and Neanderthals mated when the groups crossed paths. "It certainly tells us something about human nature," said Chris Stringer, head of human origins at the Natural History Museum in London."
Well he doesn't actually tell us, but my thinking is along the lines of "any port in the storm" or you "don't look at the mantle piece when you are stoking the fire"

Drink so beer, a few shorts, go to a dark nightclub and see what you would **** at 1.50 am given a chance, a grunting, hairy club weilding troglodyte female still wouldnt be the worst outcome, say if you were in Birmingham or Liverpool

Well, Les, it's the kind of human that is atonomically indistinguishable from humans living today (at least skeletally) and which is found associated with evidence of the kind of culture we see as being exclusively human i.e. cave art, tool manufacture (that is, objects modified to become tools rather than stones picked up off the floor and used to brain a rabbit) and burial customs, to name a few. The earliest known are around 200,000 years old.
