I know this as a (semi) serious subject and all but honestly, I want to know, more than about neanderthal science, how it is that at some point in a budding young mind a decision is made to make a career out of studying the feces of others.
Does one begin studying ones own feces and then, having developed a love for it, chase the family pet around the yard? Go on litterbox excavations?
how does this work exactly?
I’ve always wondered who that first intrepid human(oid?) was who ate oysters.
The crappy origins of the archaeology of North America’s first people.
Yesterday, the journal Science reported the discovery in an Oregon cave of human DNA that is more than 14,000 years old. The DNA was extracted from coprolites, or fossilized feces. They represent the oldest human remains found in the Western Hemisphere.
