"Can they tell much from a kneecap besides age and species?" Apparently gender too. Don't expect to see a facial reconstruction of this one. lol
I read that George Carter claims to have found evidence of dwarf rhinos that were roasted in a camp fire on this island that are dated at 100,000 years old. No-one would listen to him. This info is contained in his book, Older Than You Think.

A long time ago I saw a book that claimed that modern man originated in California, 200,000 years ago, and migrated west to the various places around the world where he is now found, including Africa. It's not a popular idea, but finding old bones out there doesn't seem so surprising in light of that.

Strange. I don't remember hearing of George Carter. Rather amusing that they wouldn't listen to him, but gave all ears to Leakey, when they were offering the same type of evidence.
