That makes sense. We probably would identify with people who were oppressed by the British Empire.

Notice how a major MAGAt complaint is that they are the ones being oppressed and, therefore seeking to destroy the US government even though Trump is taking over the US government with Congress in his pocket and ignoring the Judicial branch.

How to tell if someone has Neanderthal DNA:
Seven good - and not-so-good - signs you may be a bit Neanderthal
Thick hair, good. Allergies, bad.

To me, it's never really been adequately explained why Neanderthals disappeared so quickly. There were here for half a million years, and then fairly suddenly they are gone from the geologic record somewhere around 30k BCE.
There are obviously ideas and hypotheses about it.

Rapid changes to the environment have caused more than a few species to become extent. The rise of Homo Sapiens is another factor. A multiplex of factors could be the answer even though I'm a big fan of Occam's Razor.
It is remarkable that for all the myriad of human subspecies that existed not that long ago and co-habitated the planet, homo sapiens were the sole survivor.

Homo sapiens have a bad habit of killing off the competition....including other homo sapiens. LOL
Maybe, but I don't think homo sapiens were even in contact with Denisovans, Homo florensis, or Homo longi, and I don't think there is much evidence from Neanderthal remains that they died from violence

It appears Denisovans interbred with both Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens.
Denisovan - Wikipedia
Denisovans apparently interbred with modern humans, with a high percentage (roughly 5%) occurring in Melanesians, Aboriginal Australians, and Filipino Negritos. This distribution suggests that there were Denisovan populations across Asia. There is also evidence of interbreeding with the Altai Neanderthal population, with about 17% of the Denisovan genome from Denisova Cave deriving from them. A first-generation hybrid nicknamed "Denny" was discovered with a Denisovan father and a Neanderthal mother. Additionally, 4% of the Denisovan genome comes from an unknown archaic human species, which diverged from modern humans over one million years ago.
Oh yeah, that's right, you mentioned how Tibetans have some denisovsn dnaIt appears Denisovans interbred with both Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens.
The first identification of a Denisovan individual occurred in 2010, based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) extracted from a juvenile female finger bone excavated from the Siberian Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains in 2008.[2] Nuclear DNA indicates close affinities with Neanderthals. The cave was also periodically inhabited by Neanderthals, but it is unclear whether Neanderthals and Denisovans ever cohabited in the cave. Additional specimens from Denisova Cave were subsequently identified, as was a single specimen from the Baishiya Karst Cave on the Tibetan Plateau, and Cobra Cave in the Annamite Mountains of Laos. DNA evidence suggests they had dark skin, eyes, and hair, and had a Neanderthal-like build and facial features. However, they had larger molars which are reminiscent of Middle to Late Pleistocene archaic humans and australopithecines.Denisovan - Wikipedia

It still doesn't explain their extinction nor the Neanderthals. Absorbtion could be part of it, but not wholly since there'd probably be more DNA if it was a complete absorption.
Right. I could understand one subspecies getting assimilated by Homo-sapiens.
But the fact that several contemporaneous subspecies of humans disappeared coincident with the rise of homo sapiens is curious.
Is this self-moderation? Can you not spam the thread with the same meme repetitiously making it unreadable?

Sure, Damo. Are you just going after me or will you also go after Legina and Stone for spamming a thread with the same meme below....or is that different?
If they do it 19 times in a row they'll hear from me, until then, you are the one with the problem.Sure, Damo. Are you just going after me or will you also go after Legina and Stone for spamming a thread with the same meme below....or is that different?

What is the magic number or is it something financially related?
Since that post was well over a month ago, I'm guessing it's the latter.
It isn't a number, it was that I went past 3 pages of the thread and every other post was you with the same meme over and over and over and over...
So I asked, is this you trying to make the thread unreadable?
Your answer, "Well, someone else annoys me with a meme too!"
You answered a question nobody asked to avoid just admitting to it and moving on.

A post from over a month ago with the last post on the thread in one of the lesser used forums over a month ago until you brought it up.
You should know, sir, that I'm not as stupid as all those whining to you about my memes and begging for you to ban me. If you want me to leave, I'll do so voluntarily.
Although I enjoy JPP, I don't need the hassle of watching my back for an owner seeking to ban me. I'll just leave if asked. No socks. No returns. Just gone.
*sigh*
I asked a question, you avoided answering. Stop pretending you are a victim.

Look at the context of Perry's posts to compare my response. Perry is a 40something with the mind of a teenager. If your advice is to put him on ignore, then why can't the same advice be given to those who disagree with me and complain to you to have me banned?
You've banned me from my own threads before. You have no problem with people who troll others, same emoji or not, yet always seem to have publicly admonish me for doing the same. It's not a coincidence.
I've never done anything that others haven't done. I haven't violated any rules...except by your member-specific interpretation of the rules such as when you banned me for posting "nudity" - a case where the only skin showing could also be seen at a church swimming pool.
Lastly, the fact Matt complained about me posting the same meme 19 times and now you bring it up about a thread that died a month ago is interesting to me because it's too coincidental. The fact Matt, Stone, RB 60 and Legion all want me banned is also too coincidental.
Again. if you want me to leave, I will. No questions asked, sir. It's your forum. If you want a nice quiet place as a RW echo chamber, it's not my place to wreck it.
