The problem of Cthulhu

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

> On the other hand:

So when a study disagrees with your theory, it's because the archaeologist
is a bumbling idiot who's no match for a meticulous researcher like Plato,
but when it agrees with your theory, it's taken as gospel?

I'm quite open to the idea that Neanderthals interbred with modern humans.
I just don't like your ongoing caricature of the opposing position.
