“Their examination revealed that they belong to a type of prehistoric man that lived in Israel, and that until now no one knew existed. Science has until now held that humans originated in Africa (Homo Sapiens who developed there about 200,000 years ago.)”

Another settled science bites the dust?

[Michael.SF.]

the origin of prehistoric man is in Israel, and not in East Africa.

Oh, oh. Don't tell that to Rachel Donezal.

They’re mine. Please send them back as chewing on this roast beef sandwich without them is almost impossible. Please, before I starve.

They are white and have two pointy things at their base.

“And an additional surprise is that prehistoric man”

I recommend the name “Homo-Hippy-Homo-Sapiens”

[Fungi]

” a new prehistoric human species.” Hogwash.

[TigersEye]

And an additional surprise is that prehistoric man was mainly vegetarian and not carnivorous.

I don't know why that would surprise them. We expect man and his predecessors to be more primitive the further back you go. Hunting and fishing require organization and good tools. Gathering roots, berries and seeds not so much.

RACISM!

[Veggie Todd]

Not buying it. Doesn’t seem to jibe with the Bible.

[PA Engineer]

Posting history?

I always knew, intuitively, that I was not descended from African stock.

“Prof Gopher has said that the cave...has already provided...several important discoveries...”

I understand that Prof Gopher is very handy to have at the dig site. ; )

[Mr. K]

Is this more science baloney?

I remember when someone found a knee bone or something once they spent an entire paper describing the new species and how it cared for its young and what it ate and blah blah blah

[Flag_This]

"Gopher explains his vegetarianism by the disappearance of elephants in our region about 400,000 years ago, which forced the species, who ate them, to find an alternative source of food. In addition, roasting meat in caves caused constant smoke which bothered them and probably hurt their health."

Yeah, they hunted elephants to the exclusion of all other prey items. It must have been because they couldn't chase other animals, what with their limited lung capacity and all. My hat is off to our hominid friends who hunted elephants with pointed sticks.

The “out of Africa” theory has been falling apart for the last few years what with this discovery in Israel and the discovery that almost all other humans on the planet have Neanderthal DNA except Africans. A toddler can look at a sub-saharan African and a Scandinavian and tell they don’t have the same ancestors. Africans never left Africa and to this day show no desire to explore or invent or question the mysteries of the universe.

[commish]

The species has been proclaimed as “mohammadus jihadus” and all of Isreal is now designated a Muslim historic site.

[I want the USA back]

“A new species”

Rushing to conclusions here. I know many scientists would love to achieve fame by discovering a new species, but this doesn’t warrant it.

Uh oh.
