I am fascinated by the new discoveries and enjoy that it’s a new piece to our anthropological history.

However when I read pieces like this I tend to think, “Now up until five minutes before this confusing evidence was discovered, you would have been mocked endlessly to be the least bit skeptical of scientific theory put forth.”

I read somewhere that science is the new religion and I really think it’s true. It’s wonderful to solve scientific mysteries. However when you except scientific theory in a blind faith way, you are no better than the ones you mock for believing in God.

"If your erection lasts longer than 550,000 years, please consult a doctor immediately."

How many thousands of years? And he still has erectus. I should be so lucky at 68.

"It's not clear why these estimates differ so dramatically and which one is more accurate, Antón said."

So you guess, make assumptions about background radiation radioactive decay in the past based on the present.

Java “man”??? a piece of a skull, a leg bone and a tooth, not necessarily from the same individual. But wonder of wonders!! Skin color, length of hair and even the shape of face were determined.

Java something but not much man there.

She may well be a "physical" anthropologist, but I'm guessing this is a different Susan Anton.
