...40,000-year-old tooth...

These kinds of unSWAGs I just give the brush-off.

---

The team analyzed tooth enamel for ratios of a strontium isotope, a naturally occurring metal found in food and water. Levels of the metal vary in different areas.

It seems to have Crested HERE.

"I would have been surprised if Neanderthals didn't move at least 20 kilometers (12.5 miles) in their lifetime, or even in a year ... We're talking about humans, not trees," Finlayson said.

Finlayson believes that these clods moved laterally while regular evolutionary hypothesists believe they moved up the food chain. ; ^ )

The trees woodn't make a comment.

"...40,000-year-old tooth..."

It sounds like an ancient tooth has been revealed. I hope you all appreciate the cavity of the situation.

“The trees woodn’t make a comment.”

Why not? Seems like they should be able to get to the root of a problem like this. Of course, they may have a policy, “don’t ask, dental”. Or, they just don’t want to gum up the works.

[Squantos]

They vacationed in Fluoride ?

Totally enameled with themselves ain’t they !

If you can’t beat ‘em, dentum. What’s good for the goose is good for the tartar.

Ivory scientist dreams of a discovery like this...

“Eleni Panagopoulou of the Paleoanthropology-Speleology Department”

Sounds suspiciously like Pangaea. Is this person a mouth-piece for the Global Plate Movement? I mean, Palate...

[Joe 6-pack]

Her name sounds like a mouthful. I was going to try to make a pun out of it, but I know better than to bite off more than I can chew. I can usually come up with something in a matter of minutes, but that would take me more than a decayed.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

In a case like that it’s best to brace oneself, and hold one’s tongue. Preferably your own.

"I just ate a T-bone steak that was from a mammoth. Mmmm. Burp!"

Wait'll you get a chance to eat a T-bone from a T-Rex!
Best qualities of steak and chicken you can get!

By the way, don't ask for a drumstick. It'll flip your car over.

good golly - they weren't sedentary farmers - I would think that one would think - that they were hunter/gatherers, and would follow the seasons, much like most early peoples did.

The Laplanders and other nomads of today still do - The Native Americans traveled great distances from winter quarters to summer quarters - weather and food were the determinant - well, that's what my theory would be.

Just WOW. The person died a whole 12.5 miles from where he grew up! They probably covered that distance in a days hunting.

Why would anyone think that 12.5 miles was even a different area?

Here's an incisive comment.

The Neandertal Enigma
by James Shreeve

Frayer's own reading of the record reveals a number of overlooked traits that clearly and specifically link the Neandertals to the Cro-Magnons. One such trait is the shape of the opening of the nerve canal in the lower jaw, a spot where dentists often give a pain-blocking injection. In many Neandertal, the upper portion of the opening is covered by a broad bony ridge, a curious feature also carried by a significant number of Cro-Magnons. But none of the alleged 'ancestors of us all' fossils from Africa have it, and it is extremely rare in modern people outside Europe." [pp 126-127]

"In a case like that it’s best to brace oneself, and hold one’s tongue. Preferably your own."

You have a lot of incise in this area. You'll be the first person I turn to for tooth wisdom.

[SunkenCiv]

No, Neanderthal DNA is not described as halfway between a chimp’s and a modern human’s.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

I will humbly share my wisdom tooth crown with you. To be selfish would be immolar.

[Joe 6-pack]

You can keep your crown to yourself, but I’ll put you on retainer.

Please do a virtual edit on “Blast from the Past. Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution.” I think I’d better just head to bed.

I’ve seen it said in similar ways a few times on FR, but haven’t looked elsewhere. :’)
