Humans domesticated dogs soon after Neanderthals began to disappear. This alliance between two predator species, Pat Shipman hypothesizes, made possible unprecedented success in hunting large Ice Age mammals—a distinct and ultimately decisive advantage for human invaders at a time when climate change made both humans and Neanderthals vulnerable.
Glenn Morton used to be a young-earth creationist, but the facts changed his views.

More recently, cabaret styling has translated into today's day, sport and evening clothes.
