He's 22,000 years younger than previously thought? Hang on, lemme grab my lipstick. He's DATING material.

One good ping deserves another.
Patrick, would you mind pinging the rest of your list?

The 62,000 year age had been controversial from the beginning. Most scientists are probably relieved that Mungo fits the expected settlement pattern better now.
The Associated Press version of this story quoted one of the scientists who did the earlier dating as calling for yet another set of measurements as a tie-breaker, saying that his was just as scientific as the new one. (I think he's ignoring that the first dating on Mungo Man preceded his and came back in the 40K range, so if you want to be picky there's no tie.)

In the summertime,
when the weather is high,
you can stretch right up,
and touch the sky,
in the summertime,
you got women,
you got women on your mind...
...Mungo Jerry (as I recall it)
