A screen-play (the following is not an endorsement of a theory, a science, or an ideology. What follows is an idea for a screen-play -- comedic or dramatic -- it should work either way):

Act I thru VI:

And ... Action!

1) The Paleolithic Period is a prehistoric period of human history. This period (think Cave-Man-Dude) began around 2.6 million years ago and is associated with the use of primitive stone tools (2.6 million years ago to the end of the Pleistocene Period around 10,000 BP).

2) Cave-Man-Dude (CMD) paid a lot of attention to hunting for protein (meat) and reproducing with Cave-Woman-Chic (CWC). It is believed that during this pre-historic era early humans, or early (potential) humans, or early mythical humans (qualifications made for the purpose of helping the "sensitive" reader) grouped together in small non-voting pre-historic counties, districts, tribes, cities ... (let's just call them herds of CMDs and CWCs).

3) Presumably, the CWCs competed for the attention of the CMDs, and the CMDs competed for the attention of the CWCs. Additional competition for a mate, from the perspective of both CMDs and CWCs, was probably considered a bad thing.

4) The Paleolithic Period lasted a long time. Habits, attitudes, behavior, mental and genetic stuff may have formed during this era (hypothetically).

5) Let's assume a good CMD was hard to find 2.6 million years ago. Sure, CMDs liked to run wild with their buddies, and they liked to look at other CWCs ... and, I presume that behavior was tolerated by the CWCs.

6) However (and this may or may not have happened around 2.6 million years ago), the majority of the CWCs were a little uncomfortable when their CMDs started paying attention to the 25-year-old, CMD-Fitness-Guy (CFG) at the tribal club!

And ... Cut!

In Other News: A Poll & and 2 Questions --

A recent poll suggests that women prefer Romney for President over Obama! If that is true ... I wonder why? I really don't know! And, are our frontal lobes growing or not?
