I thought we had global warming now....600,000 years ago the weather was warm enough to support hippos in England and the sea level was so high that england was connected to the rest of Europe....What gives? (sarc)

You weren't suppose to notice that.

In England 700,000 years ago?

I'll wait for something besides a AP article

Humans in England May Go Back 700,000 Years

I've seen folks around here going back to the 1960's and 1970's, but that's taking "retro" a bit to the extreme, isn't it?

[beaversmom]

And their teeth haven't gotten any better in all that time.

[leadhead]

Very believable!

Met a few of them myself on a pub crawl from Birmingham to Wolverhampton by way of Dudley.

[balch3]

Darwinist nonsense.

[moonman]

I wonder if Motown & Disco music was around back then?

[Vaquero]

Yes, you go ahead and keep deluding yourself. Close your eyes and click your heals and the facts of Evolution will go away....

[wolfcreek]

Makes me glad I didn't become an Anthropolgist, it sounds like a full time job.

[ClearCase_guy]

click your heals and the facts of Evolution will go away....

I fail to see how old rock tools provide additional facts in support of the theory of biological evolution and the formation of new species through genetic drift.

[ktvaughn]

Not to nitppick, but the sea level would have been "low" enough for England to be connected to Europe...

I think this is fascinating-rhinoceroses in England! Fires the imagination, it does!

[Vaquero]

every aspect of evolution is not the question. If you want to discuss biological evolution then there is a forum for that. as far as my reply, it was to a person who obviously, by the age of the human relics, had his beliefs of a 5,000 year old earth shaken and he reacted.

Your question can be answered by a myriad of other scientific treatises

[Vaquero]

I stand corrected on this.

[PatrickHenry]

Thanks, but this "news" isn't yet ripe for the ping list.

[GreyFriar]

ping.

[toddlintown]

England? Bet there weren't any teeth left for the researchers to examine.

[Saint Reagan]

I hope you're joking. It surprises how many people today still believe the world is just over four thousand years old, despite all the massive evidence to the contrary. I guess the pyramids and ancient tombs of Egypt don't really exist. I believe in evolution and can't see how it contradicts my faith in the least. I'm not an Old Testament literalist, though. For life on this planet to evolve the way it has, such complexity would be impossible if not divinely guided.

Scientists said Wednesday that 32 black flint artifacts, found in river sediments in Pakefield in eastern England, date back 700,000 years . . .

. . . and are most likely ancient British dentistry tools.
