ok, but what previously held historial issues does this discovery put in doubt?
There isn't enough information to say at this point whether it will change any ideas that are currently held, but it might. At any rate, since these things are so rare, itis a very important find.
10,000 BC Many stone age cultures developed. The Chinese civilization emerged from two of these cultures, Yangshao and Longshan. By the end of the Palaeolithic 10,000 years ago, there was a shift in the environment and the plants growing wild and a shift in the social pattern of relationships. In the "fertile crescent" around the rivers Tigris and the Euphrates, there is evidence of settlements and grain storage, but only of wild grain. This wild grain flourished and peoples ceased migrating because they and the animals they hunted lived on the abundant grain food. The first sign of the domestication of animals (dogs) was found at these sites.
It says how long intelligent humans have dwelled here..... Some say the Sphynx is 3000 yrs. old, others say 20,000 yrs. old. Anyway, it can say a lot of things.
We really have no idea, yet our scientist speak with such confidence about all sorts of things, like the Big Bang, yet we know so little about ourselves....
