Interesting. So, both humans (or hominids) were apparently in that region a million years ago. I'm assuming that they identified injuries to the skeletal remains consistent with human predation. Those are pretty well defined.
Another piece of the puzzle.

Considering that the history of life on earth stretches back about 3.5 *billion* years, a camel being recognizable as a camel a mere million years ago is not that surprising. Another example of evolution in action.

Was there a giant follower of the moon god right behind it?

...1,00,000-year-old remains of a previously unknown giant camel species in central Syria. How many human years is 1,00,000 camel years?

That's nothin. Here at Jakes in Washington state we have the remains of a half man - half Crocodile.
Beat that!

All right, ladies and/or gentlemen, lets have a nice clean fight. No hitting below the belt, no biting or gouging. And may the best theory win!
I know which side I'm on, anyway...

Mohammads giant she camel, that came to preach to the people, but the wicked people ham strung her and ate it.
Allah ws not pleased, and destroyed the city.
LMAO! way to go, "researchers". The Muzzies must be going wild with this 'discovery'. Except the Koran says this camel is a mere 2-3 thousand years old.
And if you want to argue with them and their koran, well go ahead, stick your necks out...

The key item of note in this story is that it was SWISS researchers who made this discovery in Syria--not Syria ones. Arab science is an oxymoron.

A group of humans apparently killed the camel while it was drinking from a spring at the once water-rich site in the desert steppe, said Tensorer. I bet it was those darn aliens that do cattle mutilations today.

another example of camels always being camels,from the beginning of creation down to today... Call us when they find a Precambrian camel. Carboniferous will do, actually. Cretaceous would be a revolution, actually.

Sounds like a story in a "Captain Marvel" comic book I had as a kid.

So much for the science writer at the Mumbai Mirror.
