But seriously--just read a GREAT book by Pat Shipman(JUST published! So kinda expensive....) "The Invaders; How Modern Humans And Their Dogs Drove Neanderthal To Extinction"--a theory I've personally found very interesting and possible. Despite the dramatic title, most of the book doesn't get into the dog-thing at all, but just the likely inevitability of conflict/competition between these two hominids when and if they met--the dog-thing being only one of many things that might have contributed to it. All supported by considerable archaeological evidence(unlike the Coppinger stuff), and, to those of us with dogs, just common sense! A great read on the subject, though--highly recommended!...L.B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
