Most likely, archaeological false teeth as these "discoveries" trying to predate man prior to about 6000 years sooner or later turn up bogus.

But, but, but, it was settled science? How could this happen?

[Openurmind]

Ha! Get ready, Here we go...

Thanks for finding this and sharing it. :)

"But these new teeth, found in the western German town of Eppelsheim near Mainz, are at least 4 million years older than the African skeletons, which has scientists so puzzled they held off publishing for a year.

Were they implants?

Found in a riverbed....washed in from somewhere? Could earth geographical features be marred (no pun intended) by earthquakes...volcanoes...asteroids...floods? Among other things

"...but I would hypothesize that we shall have to start rewriting the history of mankind after today,"

Again?

[RightGeek]

Most of the “known science” in this field is based on where they find fossils

[Wuli]

What it upsets has less to do with the dates directly and more to do with questioning the “out of Africa” theory. The questions it opens up to the “human evolution” theories are (a) did the “hominids” in Africa start out earlier in central Europe, or (b) arise simultaneously (or contemporaniously) in multiple areas, not Africa alone. The extreme differences in the oldest examples from Africa and the new discovery are more suggestive of (a) than (b).

Hasn’t anyone ever wondered what the tooth fairy does with all the teeth she collects.....?

Yes, I've run into lift-off problems. Can you send down a recovery vessel?

Oh, really? Bummer. I should be able to live off the environment until you return.

Something about them looks fake.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Anyone surprised they weren’t found in England???

[Jim W N]

In the press conference announcing the find, Mainz Mayor Michael Ebling claimed the find would force scientists to reconsider the history of early mankind.

The age of man, not the age of the earth.

Please, you're a waste of time.

Go away and untangle your mind.

This is why I do not buy H. B. Leaky’s theory that all life started in Africa. Because Africa has the kind of climate that favors the preservation of fossils, they can try to sell that theory, but it does not hold up if you look at discoveries like this one.
