I think snails are hermaphroditic and a single snail can reproduce.
So all it would take is ONE SNAIL stuck to a piece of wood or something, floating across the English channel, and you get the same result.
To turn this into some astounding revelation about human migration is lame... just lame.
Slow news day?
Can’t explain unless we involve humans??.....Ridiculous
What they need is more grant money...
Agreed. Just build a farm pond in Ill. and soon you will have all sorts of wildlife (including snails) that couldn't make the trip alone. The eggs are transported by waterfowl.
Well, we agree 100%
If I was a mentor of somebody who came to such a ridiculous conclusion, I would think the only honorable thing to do would be to resign immediately!
It’s pretty meaningless. I mean the conclusion is that people went from France to the British Isles man that’s just MIND-BOGGLING in it’s implications, eh?
Thank God for snails!!
;-)
GUARD #1: Where’d you get the coconut?
ARTHUR: We found them.
GUARD #1: Found them? In Mercea? The coconut’s tropical!
ARTHUR: What do you mean?
GUARD #1: Well, this is a temperate zone.
ARTHUR: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin
or the plumber may seek warmer climes in winter yet these are not
strangers to our land.
GUARD #1: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
The Pyrenees run along the border of France & Spain. This is considerably further than crossing the English Channel.
Zero difference.
If it’s longer for snails, it’s longer for humans.
The snails didn’t reveal a single thing. The authors of the study have chosen to speculate.
That’s not science.
The geese found it. What a pain...and cr** all over the place.
Then there's the bazillion frogs....
It’s the insane hidden thought that bothers me....that humans deliberately transported the snails.
LOL!
No, a single snail is not able to reproduce with itself, and your post is lame.
“Honey, we’re all set to leave. Did you pack the snails?” :)
