The people who spend years looking for and analyzing things like this amaze me. Imagine searching through whatever kinds of rotting debris as they have to in order to try and uncover something of some value. And of all things, finally, they have this. A little piece of a thousands of years old mouse jaw! And they think this is important? When, for thousands of years people have always known that mice, rats, roaches, cats, dogs, etc. got on the ships, or in caravans, or rode on wagons, etc. that people used to travel anywhere and, thus, spread everywhere.
It’s OK. There are a whole lot of people in this world and they all need something to do.
Thank a farmer.
It’s a matter of perspective I guess.
