Is this any dumber than the crap you see at meat-market bars?

Get it through your once-thick skull. Scientists say the bulky craniums of the human ancestor, homo erectus, may have helped the species survive some aggressive mating rituals. After studying fossils in a region called Dragon Bone Hill in China, anthropologist Russell Ciochon of the University of Iowa concluded males of the species were clubbing one another over the head, probably to win females.

I always love this. Researcher finds one skeleton with some weird thing about it and concludes that clearly there was a bizarre mating ritual at play.

What if both those guys were the crazy outcasts of the tribe who wouldn't stop hitting each other and laughing?

I'm sorry I didn't post the link--they actually talk about large numbers of skeletons with healed skull fractures from clubbing that led them to conclude it must be something other than just a caveman or two falling from a cliff and landing on his head.
