    This is a relief to know, but, I suspected this about myself all along: [^]. I expect further testing to establish that programmers who prefer PhP, Visual Basic, or, Objective C, have a greater percentage of Neanderthal in their genome; of course, I say that with no intent to commit Sapiens-chauvinism.

      It isn't going to be a very prolific species - their default answer to everything is "Unable to reproduce" :laugh:

          "

          Furthermore, the team found that his Neanderthal ancestor lived only 200 years before his death.

          Only? Only?! I think 200 years is a pretty decent age to die at. :p (yeah, yeah. I know)

                Ruby on Rails programmers have the highest. No, strike that, they're a completely different species altogether. Marc

                  I am told that a lot of us have ADHD but I also think that people that are good at the job are not taught but born. Nothing wrong with visual basic and it uses the same p-code (Sorry MS calls it MLIC or something else) as C# that i use today. It's the bloated .NET framework that you need as an interface into windows were the trouble starts.

                      This is really fascinating stuff, anthropologists will have a ball. This means that the Neanderthals didn't actually die out and we are a different subspecies of homo sapiens from those that didn't interbreed with them. They could name us homo sapiens sapiens somewhatneanderthalensis to distinguish us. A hybrid between homo sapiens sapiens phpensis and homo sapiens sapiens mysqlensis could be named homo sapiens sapiens backendis and a hybrid between homo sapiens sapiens csharpis, homo sapiens sapiens pythonensis, homo sapiens sapiens htmlensis and homo sapiens sapiens lispsiensis could be named homo sapiens sapiens multipracticus. A hybrid between homo sapiens sapiens vbsixis and homo sapiens sapiens vbdotnetsis could be dubbed homo sapiens sapiens unluckyensis.
