State of the Game

[Just]

Be thankful for the small errors. most of our close relatives hard crashed

Yeah,
having any programming experience doesn't really help when facing the fact,
that our "updates" are just random changes in code that somehow did not manage to remove us from the game board,
and just a small fraction turned out to be actually helpful.

getting cozy with all our relatives helped there, untangling the thread of modern Human DNA keeps throwing curveballs with just how much is from other Hominid species we bumped into along the way

Interlude:
meanwhile in the world of cool culling:

I recognize those floating rocks. No man's sky crossover ? Some people are going to be happy.

Human evolution - Fight it or Frakk it?

I like how inconsistent the naming in science is there.
Normally in biology a speciation event (something splits into two species) is - next to other factors - defined by the fact that two populations cannot interbred and have fertile offspring.

Sorry, i stop now, i promise.

I'm starting to think this irrational fear of kale is bordering on pathological...

It's not irrational. I've eaten the stuff. <shudder>

apparently we were the sexy ones with the flexible DNA, (given that an average neanderthal could pick up and throw a homo sapiens sapiens, one-handed without effort, I suspect we mainly charmed the pants off every other species we came across)

One of my favourites is croissant with scrambled eggs, bacon and avocado.... mmmmmm......

And you were doing so well... But... Avocado?

Too late, you made me read this:

Humanzee - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

and it seems that rules of interbreeding are NOT absolutely clear and strict.
Too much about "chance" and "exceptions" in text

You've just summarized why I am such a good catch....

Pizza? You’ll all think I’ve truly lost it.

Bacon, ranch, and dill pickle slices. Yep. Sounds like stirred puke, tastes like heaven.

Hmmm... This could actually... Work. You DO add the Ranch and pickles after the bake, right?

Wikipedia is not a scientific source but you are not wrong

The various species of "Homo" (no homo!) did interbred. Even today, some people can have some Neanderthal DNA remnant in their blood.

Also, when you put flowers on a loved one grave, that's a Neanderthal tradition. They taught that to our Homo Sapiens ancestors.

Space Frappuccino!!!

That's what I meant with inconsistent definitions. The neanderthal for instance would be by the strict definition another family but not another species.

I'm not sure about it.
Maybe they just had a habit of eating while sitting on graves, and those flowers found by archeologists were just leftovers.

Because why shouldn't they eat flowers, they just had to call them "sushi" or "French cakes" or anything more edible, and it made flowers taste like perfectly normal food

Familiy...
Great, it's like choosing between zoophilia and incest.
