I’m thinking there’s a good possibility they may have missed each by 20inutes or so.

Oh, I know! Homo erectus saw the obelisk, and then beat poor Paranthropus to death with the femur from an antelope.

Hatala and his colleagues couldn't directly date the footprints.

1.5 million year old footprints... sure, sure. Trust the ‘experts.’ Trust the science.

Trust experts? As opposed to an online troll? Every time.

I see the standard black and white rectangles, so you know this is legit. They seem to be always found when there is an archelogy find of significance. I wonder why there is no curiosity about them. Maybe they are tools that the human species used to use. Maybe we will never know.

Trust experts? As opposed to an online troll? Every time.I don't think that's fair. Not fair at all. We're smart not dumb like everyone says. Oh sure we get things wrong every now and then but so do the experts. What we want is respect.

That’s why you run down all experts, because of respect? Spare me.

The only ones I run down are the ones NOT in the crosswalk. I have had enough with jaywalkers and I’m on a mission.
