There are those who theorize that neanderthals were assimilated into modern-day humans through interspecies breeding...
Think of it: neanderthals (Homo sapiens neanderthalensis) were muscular, stout in stature and completely specailized for their cold environments (they were POWERFUL in the ecological niche they occupied, but not very ADAPTABLE). At that time, "modern-day" Homo sapiens was comparatively more lithe and more energy efficient (able to adapt to MULTIPLE ENVIRONMENTS) and most assuredly possessed a rudimentary language base (communication and the ability to analyze the abstract and convert into something communicable). The brain of the neanderthal is generally accepted to be larger than Homo sapiens sapiens from examination of cranial endocasts.
Raw power + limited adaptibility (specailization) = XPS with P4EE?
Many environments (high battery life) + Communication and neural complexity in a "smaller package" = 9100 with Dothan?
Yinnie and Sakor, I see the parallels!
Who says an introductory course in anthropology isn't useful?
Now, the hybrid offspring of such progenitors would be interesting, providing DELL decides to assimilate the two species of notebook. Of course this would represent a version of evolutionary theory in that DELL would propose a notebook ["evolution (or mutation) proposes"] and the consumer would, or would not buy ( "natural selection selects").
I need to get out more.
