"The Neanderthal Numismatist - It's Not Your Fault"

[texasrichard]

In that modern Numismatists have descended from Neanderthals we can release ourselves from the burden of guilt that sometimes overwhelms us; especially after a significant purchase that might stretch our resources.

 

You see, Neanderthals were by nature hunter / gatherers and it only goes to explain the deep seated desires of the Numismatist to also be a hunter / gatherer. Since food is now readily available we have turned our hunting / gathering skills in another direction.

 

If Neanderthal could hunt down and kill a wooly mammoth whats to stop a modern Numismatist from hunting down a real MOOSE !

 

So if you are sometimes plagued by guilt from your choice of hobbies you should release yourselves from the burden and realize it is coded into your genetics... we are hunter / gatherers... it's what we do. It's not your fault.

Oh, is that (!) how to do it.

According to all the research I've seen, Cro-Magnon was the hunter/gatherer, and Neanderthal was strictly a hunter. Neanderthal never learned to adapt, to search for other food sources when the hunting was "unfruitful", and that is why they became extinct.

 

So, it seems that if you are the type of numismatist who just lives for the hunt and doesn't stockpile a hoard of one kind or another, you are doomed to extinction.

OMG, that is so funny, I am still laughing.

apparently I needed to actually do a little research as I just kind of guessed they were hunter/gatherers

Don't worry about it, Tex! I just couldn't let the opportunity go by without comparing the "hunter" numismatist to the Neanderthal.
