Emphasis on some people, Erno. I can't really say whether it should have a sapiens in the middle or not.

This recent thing with cavemen reminded me. A sub-forum under general discussions for serious discussions might be appropriate. What say ye, yay or nay?

Homo Sapiens is us. Homo Sapiens Sapiens is a fictionary way of telling apart the "cavemen" and us, civilized, modern folks. Biologically there is no difference. Homo neanderthalensis, Homo Erectus and other acient human beigns were also humans, like makis and chimpanzees are both monkeys.

Well, according to wiki Erno is right in that sapiens sapiens is to distinguish modern, civilised humans from older humans.

Another thing, according to some, neanderthals were a subspecies of humans (Homo sapiens neandertalensis). You can look that up if you want.

Finally, chimps are not monkeys, they're apes.

That actually goes in favour of intelligent cavemen. If someone without any education has the ability to survive harsh Ice Age conditions with the materials on hand, while on the other people these days, with the education, information and various conveniences of thousands of years of accumulative civilisation, gets up to the stupidest things imaginable... Well, who's smarter?

Depends who you ask, capristo. Some people think Neanderthals were homo sapiens, hence us being homo sapiens sapiens (as opposed to homo sapiens neandertalis or something). Cro-Magnon were the first of our kind, homo sapiens (extra sapiens, if you like). They may not have been as smart as us, but that's like saying an African kid with no education is not as smart as us. The difference is not in brain function, but in upbringing. If a Cro-Magnon child were to be brought up in modern society, there would most likely be very little difference.

Ahaha, very nice. Should be kinda rare though, if it's that useful and powerful.

Haha, that's the best idea I've heard in a while. Nice on Erno

Have a kiwi

The rapiers are looking pretty good. Some of them are looking quite cumbersome though. Notably the polearms.

Erno's right. Our species hasn't changed too much as far as brain function goes. Not sure you can do anything about the rate of intelligence training without fiddling with the source anyhow.

Also, I've had an idea. You've changed Jenny into a mammoth. Well, it could be an old mammoth, hence why it's rather weak and doesn't move.

You know what I figured out? Coming up with such a name doesn't make you look good

Romance of IVAN = gay

Romance of A Violent Road to Death = twisted psychopathic killer
