Obviously a victim of Dubya's war on the environment.

Evidence of Global Warming before there was 'global consciousness'?

There must have been a pre-historic Algore.

Interesting. I wonder how they looked compared to the mammoths.

evidence that Stone Age humans in Britain hunted and ate the ancient animals, scientists say.

Ya don't say.

"Stone Age humans in Britain hunted and ate the ancient animals, scientists say.
The male straight-tusked elephant—a member of the extinct species Palaeoloxodon antiquus—weighed about 9 tons (9.1 metric tons), twice as large as elephants living today."



With the size of the cajones these guys had, we now know why the wheel barrow had to be invented.

"We don't think [H. heidelbergensis] had clothing, and they didn't use fire, so they would have eaten the elephant raw," Wenban-Smith said.

The site also yielded teeth from mice and pollen traces from tree species that are still present in Britain, suggesting that the climate back then was similar to today's.

Where do these guys come to their conclusions? No clothes in Britain's current climate is not conducive to survival.

Interesting!! Homo erectus used fire some 700,000 years ago. besides cooking, they hardened the tips of their wooden spears. Homo heidelbergensis didn't use fire yet they were remarkable hunters. With the good climatic conditions 400,000 years back, why didn't HE push HH to the side based on superior technology and likely more intelligence. HE certainly "conquered" the world except Europe.

The team also discovered a big pile of flints about 65 feet (20 meters) from the animal, on the shore of the ancient lake, which may represent a more permanent tool-making site.

You got to hand it to these archaeologists, it's not just anyone who can look at a bone and write a life history of everything that came in contact with a bone that is 400,000 years old. Hey, I found a pair of dirty socks, I wonder if they could write the history of these socks since they are no older than 100 years old.(Just by looking at them)

Would these extinct elephants have been related to mammoths? Or is "Palaeoloxodon antiquus" the scientific term for a type of mammoth?
