# my friend has some sort of canine.
I think its shitsu, but it really looks like an Ewok. I think it's name is Monty, short for "Montimus Maximus."

# Well apparently
the earliest domesticated dog was the wolfhound, the enormous, generally mild-mannered dog which kills wolves. So early man had good priorities.

# Apparently
the introduction of domesticated dogs helped increase man's brain size. Good sense of smell takes up a lot of 'brain storage', as the dogs were used in hunting a good nose (which neanderthal man had) was no longer needed, and those pars of the brain were able to be used for other things.

Like drawing crude cocks on cave walls.

# Neanderthal
I thought it was now commonly accepted that homo sapiens ARENT decended from homo neanderthalus? Rather when some ice age ended, we moved into europe and chased them all away with better pointy sticks than they had?
Thats what i remember Robert Winston saying anyway

# Yes
sorry, what I meant to say was that because Neanderthals used so much of their brain for smell, they were quickly 'out-evolved' by the chaps that were our ancestors.

And did you know that the ginger hair gene comes form Neandertals?*

*1005 possible fact
