Looks like Carelton Coon may have been right after all.

Well, the Africa firsters will ignore this skull and try to have it banned like the Native Americans in Oregon and Washington with some skulls/bones of non Native Americans found in those two states centuries before the land bridge was to have happened.

These biased non science based histericals, (definitely not historical) will not allow reality to change their isms.

Have you read "Forbidden Archeology?" http://www.mcremo.com/fa.htm
The authors state that the origins of man has become politicized, and that any evidence, no matter how weak, is accepted if it bolsters the political theory, and any evidence, no matter how strong, is discredited it it violates the theory.

The book then proceeeds to document every claim, and wishes we will keep these extraneous claims in mind as the next outlying piece of evidence is discovered.

Thanks for posting this interesting article.

I thought genetic mapping and analysis showed us with a common African 'Eve', mother to us all?

Isn't that science more compelling than arguable dating of disturbed strata?

I'm just asking? ;^)

The evolutionists are going to lose in America and they may end up having to find some other place to peddle their wares. Perhaps Haiti...

Thanks for the ping! I'll be very interested in the results of dating the actual specimen.

For the present, you are quite correct. However, if age-dating these finds reveals that the specimens were emplaced contemporaneously with surrounding sediments, then we will have to re-think our current theories.

There are some who will continue to believe in the Out of Africa theory, no matter what - just like they still believe Cleopatra was black. So silly.

How does this square with Peking Man, allegedly 250,000 years old?
