35,000 year old "modern human" remains Discovered!

They found the man holding a remote?

[kjam22]

Experts analyzing remains of a man, woman and teenage boy unearthed in Romania last year are convinced that the 35,000 year-old fossils are the most complete ever of modern humans of that era

They found a jaw, part of another skull, and one other bone?? A whole new meaning to the idea of "complete" for me.

[Consort]

If they were unearthed last year, then they are now 35,001 year-old fossils.

The current working hypothesis is that this is a relative of Dick Clark.

the humans would have had religious beliefs

Unless they also found some fossilized "beliefs" this is pure speculation.

How long ago did humans develop the abstract thinking ability which led
to supernatural beliefs, then to one of it's subsets "religion?"

>>>>>Trinkaus said the humans would have had religious beliefs, used stone tools, and a well-defined social system and lived in a period in during which early modern humans overlapped with late surviving Neanderthals in Europe, Trinkaus said.<<<<<<

In other words, 35000 years ago, Homo Sapiens lived in the Balkans while Neanderthals ruled the rest of Europe.

This may be one of the explanations why the history of the Balkans is so distorted and why the word itself has derogatory overtone in the rest of Europe.

My question is, how is this date arrived? Radio Carbon dating, near other fossils, or what?

Radio Carbon dating is notoriously inaccurate, so most scientists use nearby fossils. The fossils dates are changed to fit evolutionary thinking. So the dates of this find will vary widely over time.

I would be interested in the skull shape if these were found in rock as they would be from pre-flood time. It would be very interesting to know their age upon death by growth rings. But I doubt they will be interested in that.

What they don't want you to know is that these particular people had evolved from bacteria brought to earth from Mars by a meteor back when Mars was all watery. (That and the fact that they also voted for Gore in 2000.)

?"Romanian recreational cavers unearthed the remains of three facial bones last year, and gave them to Romanian scientists.

Romanian scientists asked Trinkaus to analyze the fossils, and he traveled to the Romanian city of Cluj this week with Portuguese scientist Joao Zilhao, a fossil specialist.

Trinkaus said a jawbone belonged to a man aged about 35. He said part of a skull and remains of a face including teeth belonged to a 14- to 15-year-old male and a temporal bone to a woman of unspecified age.



"This was 25,000 years before agriculture. Certainly they were hunters," said Trinkaus. He said the bones were discovered in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains"?


So who drug the THREE separate bones in that cave. I have no reason yet to dispute the age, however, making claims on three different bones coming from three different human beings, is very suspect. It sure is going to take a lot of ART work to give these bones a face and body.

35,000 year old humans.. THATS EASY...

just try to find some LIVING intelligent humans NOW you got a problem... take Mexifornians as an example.. that state is bankrupt and they still LOVE taxes instead of spending less...

We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.~Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Don't get all that excited by this, I think the DNA revealed these were just left over body parts from some Joan Rivers cosmetic surgery what some UCLA guys were trying to sell on the open market.

They didn't have to travel more than 50 kilometers (30 miles)," to hunt, he said. <P Spread out and start digging.
