“You know the Cocoa Pebbles cavemen?”…

..my nine-year old son asked. “Uh, yes. The Flintstones?”. He waved off my answer “anyway, are they Neanderthals, Homo Sapiens, Homo Sapien Sapiens, Homo Erectus, or what?” I told him they were just “The Flintstones”, simple cartoon cavemen with a five o-clock shadow. I don’t know much more than that, because that is how Hanna-Barbera drew them. “Who is Hanna-Barbera?” Oy. I feel very, very old.
