A gimlet creates holes... women have reproductive holes. I rest my case.

Yawn, 10000 or 40000 the irony still remains, probably even more so.



Yeah sorry for being pedantic.

It is just that I thought the truth mattered.

Why does the truth matter you ask. Are you really that dumb ?

The irony sure does remain.

Although gimlets are totally different to giblets.

I think myscreenname might be confused.

A Neanderthal in 10000bc could answer that question.




Neanderthals were extinct in 10000 BC.

PS/ Opps, Carantoc beat me too it.


Yeah, my mistake.

Whilst the Neanderthals died out between 60 and 30 thousand years ago there is a percentage of Neanderthal DNA in all of us. To varying degrees
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal_genetics
This got me wondering if conservatively minded people have a greater percentage of Neanderthal DNA in them and apparently there have been some studies that seem to back this up

We've covered a lot of topics in this post. I think that is good. Thanks for the info Ian. Interesting. I'll read more later.

Wouldn't surprise me if there are some on this forum with large percentages of Neanderthal DNA.

Cammd - in the intrest of scince and transparency- can you post us your DNA results and the percentage of Amygdala in your brain?

One of my daughters did one of the ancestory.com dna tests a while ago. Results were mostly Western European so yeah, probably have a share of Neanderthal dna.
She has a PHD in astrophysics and works for the CSIRO btw.

Are members of this forum suggesting intelligence is related to ancestory.

OmarShamgar posted a chart that a former member of these forums has posted before......hhhmmmm what's up wid-dat ?


Wowser - really brings home how big Harris' loss was doesn't it. A few isolated blue dots against a tidal wave of red.

By the way, if you plotted the same chart but with average age of voter versus % of residents age 18+ with at least a four year degree in 2022, would it have much the same distribution ?


Anyways, back to more up to date topics..

No cammd, no. I do not think they are.

I believe they are implying (either deliberately or unconsciously) that intelligence is related to ethnicity and also that intelligence is directly inversely proportional to having the same political agenda as themselves.

Although intelligence, as we all know, is actually just a human construct.

I just flipped through it jn1, in summary it seems to say that many studies run by woke institutions generally found :

people with right-wing (or conservative in the United States) political views have larger brains, more evolved psychology, bigger social networks (or 'more mates'), are happier and can react faster to outward stimuli

lefties, conversely have less grey matter in the brain, are highly emotional / unstable, are unable to form meaningful relationships and are all a bit mental


Not sure why anyone had to do a 'scientific' study to find that out though, they could just peruse these forums.

Well obviously not cammd
And your PHD Astrophysicist daughter is proof of that. More importantly how does she feel about your support of a civically convicted rapist. I'm sure she doesn't get on the astrophysics forums and brag about her Trump supporting father


Buy a dictionary Carantoc and learn how to use it
Ancestry refers to your biological and genetic roots, while ethnicity refers to your shared cultural identity and social traditions

There's this thing called Google. You should give it a try. If you type
"conservative vs liberal education graph" you get this.

Meh. I can think of better things to use Google for.

Arguing about whether an American who voted for Trump or Harris is smarter is a bit like arguing about which tastes better - dog **** or cat sht. To then search Google to find something that reinforces your pre-determined belief seems at bit neurotic.

Talking of neurotic - I am still gonna ask - that graph shows that groups of people who voted blue had more degrees on average.

I also reckon younger generations have more degrees on average, and that younger generations are also more likely to vote blue. I mean I bet if you replaced "degrees" in that chart with 'tattoos' or 'instagram accounts' you'd get the same distribution. Not sure that proves tattoos and instagram accounts are the primary cause of which way people vote.

I'm only new here, but I'm getting a little nervous about this Carantoc person. He responds to my every post, he even writes poems about me. I feel like he gets an erection every time he reads one of my posts. I'm afraid to walk through the dunes with my kite in case he is following me. What should I do?

As far as I know, this is incorrect, Neanderthals where only in Europe/Asia, There's no Neanderthal gene in Africans
