Three types... heh... apparently they’ve never heard of (or maybe have just rejected) multiregionalism.

I tend to watch because they tend to come up with archaeological oddities that I never heard of before.

There is a bunch of stuff out there that is ignored. I just doubt that aliens are responsible for all of them.

"Yup, and then that EVIL contintental drift slammed two subcontintents together, causing the rise of the Himlalayas..."

That was 55 million years ago.

I still feel special, carrying Denisovan DNA in my mostly European ass.

Same here, and not just AA -- fringe authors in general really zoom in on oddities, anomalies, and other things that are little talked about.

Same here; occasionally they do fall over an idea/theory that intrigues me. Too many times, though, they go around the bend too fast and off the road.

Have you ever watched “Expedition Unknown” on Discovery or TRVL Channels? Pretty good series.

Which is why I have a shelf full of those kind of authors.

I may not agree with their conclusion but their ideas about what certain artifacts might be go beyond "religious object" or "toy".

“ Is this about the time giraffes stretch their necks so they could reach the tree leafs(sic)?”

You mean, “Is this about the time that giraffes with longer necks were more likely to survive, thus passing on their mutations for longer necks to more offspring, because they could reach more leaves?”

Why, yes. It was about the same time, +/- a few million years.

Whales evolved from some big land animal.
