Neanderthal museum weighs in on Biden mask comments 😆 No really! 😁

[underpants]

The Neanderthal Museum in Germany weighed in on Wednesday regarding President Biden's comments calling the Texas and Mississippi governors' decisions to end statewide mask mandates "Neanderthal thinking."

The museum, based in Mettmann, took to Twitter to "approve" of the president's criticism of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R) for removing the mask requirements and loosening coronavirus restrictions.

"Dear @JoeBiden we approve of Your criticism concerning the decision to end state-wide mask mandates," the museum tweeted.

"Still we strongly recommend You to visit our museum, once it is possible," the post continued. "#neanderthals were smarter than You think!"

14. The museum has a wax figure of Marjorie Traitor Greene?

That's weird.

[not fooled]

22. Hahahahahahahahaha

That's Mag Tra Gru, her many-times great grandmother.

The similarity is striking.

[MontanaMama]

26. Oh dear.

It really looks like her!!!

[Sanity Claws]

2. The Museum knew how to create free publicity!

I give the museum's communication officer kudos!

[Cha]

9. Yeah, I thought of that.. wtg

Neanderthal Museum in Germany!

[NCjack]

3. I know some Neanderthals, I worked with some, and even went to school

with some before they dropped out just after the multiplication tables were being introduced. Just couldn't handle the stress.

In my opinion, Pres. Biden was accurate in his characterization of those governors.

[Paladin]

4. As a Texan, I wish I could replace Abbott with a Neanderthal.

It would be an improvement.

[rurallib]

6. even an Australopithecus would be trading up from Abbott

[lagomorph777]

15. +1

[speak easy]

17. or even an Australian

[Butterflylady]

5. That is good one.

Neanderthals evidently smarter then at least one third of this country. Isn't it a pity that their brains didn't evolve with the rest of their body.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. It's a very cool museum! Here's a photo of another visitor...

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. It's unfrozen caveman lawyer!

[Cha]

8. Smarter than Abbott.. that's for sure!

[dilby]

10. So what they are saying is, Neanderthals were Smarter than Texans.

I mean to agree with the mask mandate but slide in the Neanderthals were smarter than we think is pretty much saying, Texans you look primitive.

[not fooled]

23. Yes

Most of modern-day humanity>Neanderthals>Republicans

[Travel Hat]

11. I wonder if they recall what killed off the Neanderthals?

Climate change and disease. Kind of apropos.

[DFW]

12. Knowing Germany, it was probably all the paperwork requirements

But I wasn't there, so I don't know.

By the way, I was the one who drove Peggy and Lionel Mandrake down there. It really is a cool museum, and it is located across from the cave in the Neander Valley (Neanderthal in German) which is the site of the original discovery in 1856.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

24. Yeah, possibly from the temporary loss of...

... Earth's magnetic field about 42,000 years ago.
https://earthsky.org/earth/magnetic-field-reversal-42000-years-ago-neanderthal-extinction

Which would likely cause depletion of the ozone layer, from the less restricted collisions of cosmic rays and solar radiation with the atmosphere, and then much more very damaging ultraviolet rays hitting the Earth's surface.

Other large animals around the world went extinct about the same time, and it also coincided with the earliest known cave paintings in places like Europe and faraway Indonesia. Paintings done with red ochre, which is STILL used as a sunscreen in places like Africa!

[Botany]

13. We all have some Neanderthal in us.

[lagomorph777]

18. Eurasians yes - not so much for Africans.

[Botany]

19. Well everybody in the world has some African in them except one tribe on some Island in the South ..

... Pacific/Indian Ocean region. But you are right as per Africans not having neanderthal DNA in them.

What I don't understand is that neanderthals died off prior to "the great" migration out of Africa's
rift valley 50,000 years ago so how did the neanderthals and the Homo sapiens "mix" in what is now
Europe and Central Asia.

[lagomorph777]

20. Well, I mean people whose ancestors never left Africa.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

21. All of humanity originated in Africa...

... so I'm not sure what that means.

Edit: Are you maybe referring to these Polynesians who seem to have yet another branch of non-homo sapien, hominid DNA in them?

[PatrickforB]

28. Indeed. About 2%. Of course, Abbott, Cruz, little Marco, and the Turtle

all have MUCH higher percentages of Neanderthal DNA. Not to mention Gosar. He's about at 90%. Same with Cotton. And how can we possibly leave out Louie Gohmert, the original knuckle dragger?

[Botany]

30. Actually Neanderthals had larger brains then we have.

I would not insult them or their DNA by comparing to those shits.


Great Book.

35. According to the National Geographic DNA project,....

my husband has 4%. OMG have I had fun with that since we got our results back. 😂

[PatrickforB]

36. LOL. My wife and I are tied at 2%.

None of that fun for her!

[Pacifist Patriot]

34. My husband has double the average Neanderthal DNA percentage...

for an American. Plus some Denisovan. We have a great time with that! 😂

[SheltieLover]

25. Bwa haw haw haw!

Great reply!

[PatSeg]

27. Oh, I love it!

[riversedge]

29. A good statement imho.

[Wounded Bear]

31. All in fun! Way to grab the publicity, though...

[RicROC]

32. Abbott doesn't like it that Pres. Joe

used a 4 syllable word, not to mention that it's a word above the 4th grade reading level.

Those last 4 years have been so easy on the verbal mind and now....everything has changed!

[reACTIONary]

33. Smarter than you think. Way smarter than ...

.. than the Texas repugs.
