Archaeologists have found two groups of complete Neolithic human remains in peninsular Malaysia and on Borneo island that may better explain prehistoric human life, reports said Friday... the remains are more than 3,000 years old and were found within two months of each other, in prehistoric burial grounds surrounded by ceremonial beads, pottery, shells and animal bones... The first set of remains found in a mangrove swamp on the island of Pulau Kalumpang off northern Perak state consists of three Mongoloid males aged between 15 and 35 years old... The second set were of seven males and a female found in the back of the Niah caves complex in Sarawak state on Borneo, bearing Austro-Melanosoid features similar to Australian Aborigines... Mokhtar told the paper the remains reveal details about early indigenous societies that lived in the country with ancient paintings also found on the walls of the cave in Sarawak... the Perak skeletons were 98 percent complete compared with the 11,000-year old Perak Man, found in 1991 in the north of the state and which is only 90 percent complete but is the oldest human skeleton found so far in Malaysia.

Lets see. 3000 years old. Neolithic??? So the Greeks were neolithic??? The Egyptians???
The “ages” arrived at different times in different places, which is a good reason to not pay much attention to them, other than what material was actually being used at the time.
