[A Black Falcon]

Yeah, and his spaceship got out of earth orbit by being shot out of a giant cannon, and they opened the windows up there in space and stuff... :)

Still, considering most of what people thought at that time it was amazing work. There's no way he could have known those missing things... but that was my point, people can't really guess the future because guessing about what we don't know isn't something humans do that well.

Now it seems there may have been a 3rd hominid group alive at the same time as neandertals and homosapians. Interesting, though considering how much invented hatreds we can come up with with something as dumb as skin color, I wonder just what would have happened had they stuck around as long as we have, actually truly thinking somewhat differently at least at the level of a typical Star Trek alien.

The question is, did they just die off or did Homo Sapiens finish them off...

Either way, that does make me think of that season of Enterprise where the enemies were from that planet with four or five completely different species that all live on the same planet. As mediocre as the show was, that at least was an interesting concept...
