Ping...
Hairyous Feetus genus.
All of this is covered in my third book written under the name of my two-headed turtle, Zack and Mack. Anyway the third book is titled “The Smile People: a story of the Earth” It is fiction based upon alternative archeology. If folks want some thinking entertainment, look up Earth Ancients podcast in iTunes. The host is, meh, but the guests are interesting. You can believe the various theories or not, but it does make one think. (disclaimer..I am just a listener of Earth Ancients and in no way connected with the program)
So... they found a sword that answers to the name “Sting”?
Instead of Hobbits, I always picture singing munchkins when the talk turns to Homo Floriensis. Thanks Utilizer.

Thanks Utilizer. A good topic for the weekly Digest ping as well.

What scientists and others seem to forget is that during periods of the past ice ages, sea level was as much as 400 feet lower. Vast areas of what is now sea floor were exposed and you could walk to current islands or have short raft trips. As the sea level rose, islands became smaller and species that required less territory like small elephants and humans evolved. So much interesting stuff must be under water. Images at the site below show that the British Isles were connected to Europe, Florida was twice the size, and large islands of Southeast Asia were connected to the mainland.
Of course, the twice-the-size Florida will be easier to examine using robotic subs, it’s just a matter of looking for the the shuffleboard courts.
Play nice.
Hey, I didn't mention AOL dialup.

Also, there is also what appears to be a polyhedral core -- the source of deliberately-manufactured multiple sharp-edged flakes. That does not happen by accident...
One piece may have been used as a hammerstone; I'd really like to handle and examine that one!
Unfortunately, there is at least one piece that definitely appears to be of recent manufacture -- and never even exposed to dirt... (AKA "fake")... :-(
Anyway, I expect I'd have an enjoyable afternoon analyzing them firsthand...
Welcome, mate. Thought this topic might be of interest to you. Hope you had a good weekend as well.
Cheers!
