Sorry, this article is tripe.

One example. It is claimed:

A Professor of Geology found, in the lower Pliocene strata of Castelnodolo, near Brescia, a complete human skeleton indistinguishable from that of a modern woman. The staining in the bones, the depth and number of different strata above the skeleton and its position made it very highly unlikely it could have been a more recent burial. The inescapable conclusion is that this speciment of homo sapiens sapiens was walking around 3.5 million years ago.

This is a popular internet myth. Rather than being 3.5 million years old, this find was modern. Details here and here.

This is more evidence that archaeology should be left to archaeologists.

You should ping this to the author of the piece, who is apparently on FR.

Soliton was replied to, by him/her earlier.
