Any marauding slugs had better watch out!Chainsaw and buying lettuce plants - sounds like a plan

I do like her programmes - together with such as Neil Oliver, Lucy Worsley and David Olusoga they are digging deep into our history and unraveling some of the sanitised and somewhat biased history that I was certainly taught at school.Alice Roberts was speculating this morning on R4. that because Neanderthals had cave art first, we Sapiens learnt art from the Neanderthals.
Interesting, I would of thought the creation of tools, some knapped very artistically, with skills by all species of humans would indicate it is inherent in Neanderthals, Sapiens and other large brained humans like Denisovans.
Of course we do have some Neanderthal genes in our genetic make up.

Watch the old handmade nails in old beams, will take the edge off any saw!Very Lou Reed - forget the walk in the park mawkish nonsense that's a proper man's perfect day. Put the kettle on luv

@gennepher your sleeping cat is a very relaxed creation, I feel quite drowsy looking at this drawing, simple but works.
My white goods carrying grandson does his eggs that way only 12 at a time.I am never witout my three eggs every morning. Every other day I have them scrambled in butter. Do them the way I learnt from a chef in the States. Mixed, put in frying pan with large piece of butter and mixed up with wooden skillet.
They taste great, I never get tired of eggs and just 1 carb each.
Best wishes

I do like a Range Rover for comfort. When I worked in East Africa we had one but with a Perkins engine and more industrial suspension - a bit like a tractor with a sitting room on top.
Thanks for the interesting link and the art. Without being able to walk a mile in your shoes it is impossible (for me at least) to understand any feelings other than pride about the art. Good man for going through with it, opening up about your feelings on the process and product and sharing your art. Did the Dr get back yet?Neanderthals domesticated the dog and had quite advanced funerary rights which imply faith/religion of some sorts. The 'odd' thing is that autistic people carry more Neanderthal genes than neurotypicals. There are lots of articles on the research but I include one here https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-06440-4.pdf?origin=ppub I took part in a research program looking at neanderthal development in autistics, fascinating stuff.
Right... here is the watercolour!
There is water and it's in colour and I never want to do another one, and yes, it had less detail to start with but my brain is having none of it
I know I will go back and put all the bricks in the right place

Fascinating stuff - as far as my addled brain can determine - as humans. (Diploid organisms), some people display a range of Neanderthal or Denisova ancestral allele rather than derived allele in M1 and M2 macrophages as demonstrated from the treatment of data using Kruskal-Wallace one way anova analysis. I need to read it more. I wonder if there has been conformation results from other experiments? Might even be useful for looking at medical intervention for things as diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, allergies, viruses, wound healing and on and on.Neanderthals domesticated the dog and had quite advanced funerary rights which imply faith/religion of some sorts.

It is looking good @Muddy CyclistI managed a quick 45 minutes painting but time and life steals the day and I have to leave it. I hope I find time to carry on later but who knows so here is how far I have got. There are 4 circles of ancient Beech trees on the edge of Cannock Chase where the hills drop into the valley and Shugbourgh Estate, I suspect planted by the Anson family. I pass them often on my Mountain Bike and find the many moods they emanate enchanting, some times dark and threatening other times offering safe and secure refuges, this painting is of them in better mood, lots still to do. A4 watercolour.

No he hasn't, of course he could be dead or even dying and no-one to help. I might have to physically go there tomorrow and check on him
Absolutely fascinating - the moving silently without being taught is amazing.There have been experiments, I took part in having my DNA sampled and the checked along with 30 other people on the spectrum. We all showed higher percentages of Neanderthal or Denisovian DNA, we also took part in helping children from estates in L'pool who were on the spectrum and tended to remain in their rooms. We all went on an 'outward bound/survival' course along with some neurotypical kids. The spectrum kids not only adapted faster but could move silently without being taught.
I can't go into the full details but part of the work determined that Neanderthals grouped in small numbers (going by burial sites etc) probably one or two males and females. As nomads they learnt to move rapidly and stealthily, and as I mentioned before had already bred social wolves (dogs). Thus, a language may not have been as important as it is to larger social groups that were formed by early homo erectus/habilis etc. Part of the conclusion was that there might have been more marked difference between Homo Sapien hunter/gatherers and Homo Sapien farmers, the latter going on to form settlements/villages/towns and cities for social presence and protection.
