Finally scientists confirm the SubGeniusās Yetisyn ancestry!
Rishathra!
I think Iāve been on the internet too longā¦the first thing that popped into my head while reading the link was that someone has probably already created a cartoon showing a bunch of Stone Age male humans sitting at a Star-Wars-esque bar saying to each other āIād hit thatā as they look at an assortment of female hominids.
To complete the scene, it would show that the date rape drug of choice back then was a club.
I need to go scrub out my brain now.
I wish he hadnāt gone with the āLord of the Ringsā analogy. It just opens the door for more Gimli/Legolas slashfic.
Oh for goodness sake would you all stop making the lazy links with aliens. It just makes you all look stupid. I know you think itās funny but itās not. Itās just annoying and juvenile. This is especially true since this āmystery populationā is blatantly just highly evolved time travellers from the distant futureā¦
My first thoughtā¦ We are all YETIS.
Can I just add (on a slightly less humourous note) that itās nice to see that boingboingās headline highlights what seems to me (the layperson) to be the important part of the discovery whilst Natureās āspicedā ārampantā headline looks like something from a tabloid rather than a self-described āInternational weekly journal of scienceā. Sad that even Nature has to resort to that.
After they moved to Inner Earth they stopped calling.
This was already solved, it was Gaius Baltar.
This has all happened before.
My thought doesnāt go to Battlestar Galacticaā¦but rather to the āGolden Torcā Series of Julian May.
Or do you meanā¦ Time traveller aliens?
āWhat it begins to suggest is that weāre looking at a āLord of the Ringsā-type world ā that there were many hominid populations,ā
Holy shitāmaybe I am a half-elf ranger!
Oh that depends entirely on whether or not you consider cyborgs to be alienā¦
Golgafrinchans?
One thing you can count on with us humans. If we canāt eat it or spend it, then f*^k it.
Atlantean superwomyn. Hasnāt anyone here read that book?
(Okay, itās bad, and racist, and sexist as all hell.)
I think the Golgafrinchansā naming committee would be very happy with 'Mystery Population".
Itās really edgy and appeals to the 18-30 demographic.
