Neanderthals in Low Gravity

[Lloyd]

* I think it was on satellite tv about 2 months ago that I saw a show about Neanderthals, in which it was stated that their organ of balance, called semicircular canals in the inner ear, was much smaller than that of humans. The authors theorized that this gave them a poor sense of balance, so that they were less agile than humans, who were then at an advantage in competing directly against Neanderthals.
* Yesderday, it occurred to me that, if gravity was much weaker on Earth a few thousand years ago, when Neanderthals were numerous, their organ of balance would have been better adapted to lower gravity conditions.
* So it seems that Neanderthals may be good evidence of lower gravity in the past.
* And now I'm wondering what the organ of balance was like in other animals, including the large mammals and the dinosaurs.
* Here's a video about the organ of balance:

Lloyd,
Excellent thinking, imo.
I just this past weekend on a journey into the frozen realms of Lancashire, happened to visit the Bolton museum, and was talking about exactly this subject after viewing a dinasour skeleton there.
IF,
gravity is nothing more than a consequence of attraction and repulasion relative to the two way input and emittance of that ,again relative to the surrounding sea density about the planet, then gravity will not be a force as such at all, but merely a local consequence, then anything existing will morph to operate to that consequence that may change slowly or abruptly.
Any sudden change will therefore be more benificial to some more than others, those best adapted to a light gravity, such as elephants, may find themselves suddenly very heavy, some birds may suddenly not able to fly, and thus adapt to been stuck on the surface, and some tree dwelling mammals may also suddenly have problems climbing and staying up in the tree's?
The whole situation relies on ourselves recognising that this is an electrical universe, and then further recognising the faults in our sciences based on false comprehensions, nobodies has to be blamed, but those that "SEE" the light as such are charged to better inform.
this is a fabulous forum and source of such.

Hi Kevin,
I wish you had let me know you were going to be up in Bolton, it's only up the road from me and is where I party.

How about a thread entitled: Neanderthals in Parliament?
