It is still both smarter -— and more documented —

So an executed person — perchance was there a name-tag “Abby Normal” anywhere in that mud?

No sign of a name tag...:)

Dang it! You beat me to it!

My wife and I constantly do the “abby who?” shtick.

Great. A look into the dirty mind of a really old man.

Oldest? Wasn’t an older skull with brain matter still in it found in a sinkhole in Florida?

I remember the mention of brain matter in an article years ago.

“The most astonishing was the discovery of a ten thousand year old human skull still containing brain matter.”

It does appear to be that way.
Perhaps it is to do with completeness of the specimen, or they have forgotten the above event?

[central_va]

Research suggests the skull probably belonged to a man aged between 26 and 45.

No mention of race, good thing.

Right now, Cher is shoveling mud up her nose and into her ears.

Thought she had started that decades ago. :)

Given the location, it could be anything.
York has been a popular location for a very long time.

NAH!

The oldest preserved human brains are in Florida and they're European.

Bye, Bye Beringia (8,000 Year Old Site In Florida)

"I was intrigued with their level of civilization," she said. "They exhibited a civilization far beyond what had been previously believed that ancient Indians in North America and Florida would have shown." The Windover site, named for the sprawling rural housing development that surrounds it, bore archaeological treasures that amazed experts with their quality and quantity.

*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!"

Thanks for that, Bookmarked for later reading. :)
