I hope PETA doesn't get wind of this.

[Servant of the 9]

PETA to protest animal cruelty and lack of headstone on grave.

Would have been hominids, probably Neanderthal, not humans.

Homo sapiens are not older than 150,000 years.

Damn, do I see a future in the meat department?

[RightWhale]

400,000 years. The last wooly mammoth died 4000 years ago although there were reports of wooly mammoths in Canada 400 years ago. Mammoth bones are found here at gold mines.

Homo sapiens are not older than 150,000 years.

Wouldn't this shoot down "Out of Africa"?

Palaeoloxodon ping

No. Best evidence is the very close DNA relationship of chimpanzees, gorilla and the bonobos of Africa. Vs. the far more distant relation to the orangutan of Indonesia.

Non-knuckle walkers came out of Africa.

What is very mysterious is the many species of hominids found everywhere but in North or South America. Was there simultaneous development in many locations?

Neither science nor religion will ever fathom it. It's unknowable. The development of species seems to ANTICIPATE survival development, not use "natural selection". Uncanny.

"Would have been hominids, probably Neanderthal, not humans. "

Isn't that a little early for Neanderthal?
300,000 BC is usually the earliest date shown on timelines for them.

(On the other hand, 400,000 BC...probably some use of fire in limited areas.)

[rintense]

Slain by humans? Surely this is the fault of that warmonger Bush. /sarcasm

[plain talk]

You mean homo sapiens are believed by many scientists to have not been around longer ago than 150,000 years, right?

[Number_Cruncher]

Elephants and rhinos in England. Rather warm wasn't it and carbon dioxide was much lower.

So warmer climate with less CO2 compared to colder climate and more CO2 today. Not much correlation is there?

[BenLurkin]

Reminds of the tourist in Africa who came upon a pygmy next to a dead elephant.

"Did you kill this elephant?" she asked.

"Sure did", said the pygmy, "With my club."

"A club!", the tourist exclaimed, "Just how big IS your club?"

"Oh we have about sixty members."

Is Fransico Franco still dead?
