    i think cheddar man is just a rude thing to call someone. i feel like it's one step above smegma man.
     
  3. Talking about this this morning. Primitive man was clearly on the move more than initially thought. My first thought though is shamefully. - what do you think of that you white supremacist pieces of shit?

    When this person lived, 10,000 years ago, Britain was still joined to the European continent. I doubt the right wing folks would like that much either.

    I thought it was common knowledge that England was where you send people to become pasty and pale.

    I thought that was in poor taste myself. It's a fairly common racial slur to refer to an Hispanic individual as "cheddar". This homosapien obviously wasn't Hispanic; that's not even what I'm saying. I'm saying it was a bad call on the part of the scientists to name something significant in terms of skin color, something that is denigrating to a people who are oppressed because of the color of their skin.

    I don't know if I'minmyunderwear meant it in that way. But I suppose I agree that it is only several steps away from smegma man, yes. :)

    Cheddar Man was unearthed in 1903 in Gough's Cave at Cheddar Gorge, Somerset

    I'm sorry Wolf, I get what you're saying. Really, I do. But it just sounds wrong when in reaction to Undies' post there.

    The article that I read from usatoday said as much. That he was named for the location etc. I wonder if he was named in 1903 or 2018.

    It was said 'very much' tongue in cheek Asmodean - and - followed up with a more relevant posting.
    The issue of colour pigmentation is based more on scientific theorism than first hand knowledge
