Back then it was just called the town, because everyone knew what town you were talking about - the only one

May have moved there from Doggerland — after their antediluvian civilization was swallowed up by the sea.

It is nice to read someone use the term, ‘B.C. rather than B.C.E. Sheesh!

Yes. But they already knew that from the remains of the green dome.

I read the article, but found no mention of what the image in the upper left corner is.
Any ideas?

How many generations back might that be? If we assume the average age at first pregnancy was 15 then that’s about 66 generations per 1,000 years.

Average age at first pregnancy could have been 15, first successful pregnancy probably a little higher; 600+ generations must be close. It would be nice to have some more complete information as to life expectancy based on actual remains that old, but probably not going to get that.

They mentioned auroch remains, and that would be my guess, even now as I really look at it the first time close up.

So in 10,000 years, the number of, ah, couplings, to result in you and me is a mind-blowing 2^6000.

Yup, looks like a vertebrae of a BIG animal.
BTW would you please post a picture of an artist’s rendering or a picture of a skeleton of an Auroch?

The Auroch looked similar to a longhorn, but was bigger and broader. The last known specimen died in the 1700s in Poland, not that long ago, and mind boggling to think that it was hunted, and then herded, in the last ice age.

Even more, I’m sure they did it every chance they got. ;’) The possible chromosome combos of a single human mating pair (assuming no extras, or Turner Syndrome) is 2^23. Practically speaking, humans can’t achieve that. :’)
