Did anyone go to the lecture last Thursday night in Trinity College,
Dublin given by Clive Gamble?

From an article about the proposed lecture by *** Ahlstrom (Irish
Times, Thursday, November 22 '007) I quote:

Begin:

During his talk he will discuss the "social mind". something that
allowed humans to out-compete other hominins such as the Neanderthals.
Yet aspects of the social context of human activity are generally
ignored in favour of more clinical studies of brain size and tool
use.*

End:

So homo sapiens were more socially skilled than Neanderthal? Did
anyone go to his lecture? I'd love to know his evidence; but my best
guess is that it is just the distortions of perception that hold the
hand of sterotypes.

Humans and Bonobo share a social gene which Chimps do not have. Does
anyone know if the same gene was present in Neanderthal?

*Management psychology does not ignore social skill at all - it is
primary most of the time.

PS. This post will appear in the newsgroup Life Before Eden as soon as
I can. I don't know how to cross post. If anyone can cross post this
to any relevant site please do and I'll put you on my Christmas card
list, or send the full Debian 4 OS including source code to any
address you like, or indicate source here to a photo of my sister, or,
failing that, I'll promise not to hug and kiss you. Is Duck around?

I dont recognize your name, but I've posted on the HNS extinction here
many times.

The hybridization process with Homo Sapiens wiped out the HNS female
line. When you hybridize, you often get fertile males, but the female
reproductive system is so much more complex that they rarely are
fertile. Sykes, "The Seven Daughters of Eve" reports that there are
only 7 indigenous mtDNA lines in Europe. Asia has scores, Africa has
over 140.

Europe has over 60 Y chromosome lines, as does the Levant, with many
lines in both areas. What else caused the demise of all the mtDNA
lines in Europe? I've been posting about this for years with no
significant effect. If you could get any received authority to offer
some other explanation, I'd be grateful.

Thank you for your comment. I may have an explanation, or at least a
perspective, but I first need to know if if Neanderthal shared the
same 'social' gene as Bonobos and Humans which Chimps do not have.
