Well, some we marched up North & deep-froze as an investment in
Gourmet Foods. Unfortunately, not only did we invent Frozen Mammoth,
we also invented Freezer Burn. You can still obtain some of our stash
from Novaya Zemlya, but to tell you the truth McDonald's is a better
deal. They can't all be winners.

The ones that were left decided that they didn't like Winter Sports
anymore, & took off for what were going to be Sunnier Climes. In the
process, Evolution set in, & the gene for Pachyderm Pattern Baldness
became prominent.

Nice fairy tale.

Ah! Thank you. Delighted to learn that mammowhopperus Woolinsky didn't pass
on for the same reasons as the épeé-toothed tiger.

The last ice age began with skinny monkeys, mammoths, mastodons,
smilodons (aka sabretooth), dire wolves, and the giant cave bear.

The last ice age ended with obese humans.

The last ice age hasnt ended yet, this is just an interglacial
period.

It has ended (if indeed it ever started) for the mammowhopperus Woolinsky,
smilodons (aka sabretooth) and the épeé-toothed tiger. Sad. Sniff.

They are only a small contribution to the large number of extinct species.
After each Global cataclysmic event, somehow a bunch of new species apear in
the geological record. Darwin's little fairy tale was never true, but today
there is hard physical evidence unavailable 150 years ago.

You do realize that biologists have not believed in classic "evolution"
for decades, correct? That has been replaced with "adaptive radiation".
You are a biologist, right?

Don't forget the Cave Bears (Hey, they figured thay had it knocked -
who's going to dispute the supremecat of a 1-ton bear with swordlike
slaws the size of, well, swords.) Imagine their surprise when they
found that the Hairless Feeble Tasty Apes went in for all that High
Tech Rock & Pointed Stick stuff. And the Giant Beaver, as well. They
seem to have had a bad day.

I am an electrical engineer. I am aware that some biologists have modified
their understanding of species, but biology as taught in US public schools
may as well be based on Scopes' monkey ignorance.

Hmmm, is being attacked by a Giant Beaver a good thing or a bad
thing??

Of course not sir. I'm only checking to se that we are on the same track. Far
be it from me to disparge anybody for eating beaver of any sort (four legged or
otherwise) -- or vice versa, as a matter of fact.
