Re: paleonet Paleonet list/newsgroup versus Paleonet forum



There are several groups that claim to be crationism vs.
evolution.  They are peopled, in my opinion, almost
exclusively by idiots.  I joined this list in the hope that
I woudl learn something.  I am not a paleo professional, a
fact I often regret, but I am passionately interested in
the subject, especially my ancestors, the lovely
Neanderthals.
