I'm not yelling or screaming. All I have been doing is asking
you WHY you believe Australopithecines were victums of genocide.
As it turns out there are no reasons, it is simple something that
seems to have been revealed to you from on high.
I'm not the one who looks like a dolt here, BARD, and if you can't
deal with tough questions I suggest you find another newsgroup
where people will find your flames amusing. Try alt.net.loons.
