the find could be some kind of fossilised brain. .................. The making of a great Sci Fi plot, but things that become science fiction can eventually become fact.
The brain like a computer stores fact, we have memories stored, maybe someday in the far future man will be able to take old brain mater and convert in into a visual record. Our eyes record events and we can still picture them in our minds years later. We don’t see it now, and maybe we can’t believe it could happen, but in the year 20008? Who knows?

The team, excavating a York University site, discovered a skull containing a yellow substance which scans showed to be shrunken, but brain-shaped.If it's not grey, it's not brain matter. Yellow signifies something else ...
Scientists soaked the brain in warm salt water to rehydrate and then attached electrodes to it. As the the electricity ran through it the brain began to pulsate and function again. But then the experiment was stopped as U.K. scientists could think of no use for a fully functioning brain.
Doooh!

It’s alive, Marster, it’s alive!
The oldest human brains ever found are in Florida:
"*Skeletal remains of 169 people, split almost evenly between males and females, ranging from 6 to 70 years old. About 75 of the skeletons were relatively intact.
*90 intact human brains that include the oldest DNA samples in the World.
*Artifacts of wood, bone, and seed that were made into jewelry and tools, providing insight into the ancient peoples' lives.
*Tests showed the oldest skeletons were buried 8,100 years ago. The youngest was placed in the ground 6,900 years ago.
"To put this into context," Doran said, "these people had already been dead for 3,000 or 4,000 years before the first stones were laid for the Egyptian pyramids!"

"The primary significance of Windover is the seeming sophisticated culture of these people who lived there 8,100 years ago and before. Windover dates an advanced culture in North America that precedes any previously discovered anywhere else in the World.
