    To be honest, I didn't even read the article and don't much care. But with the 9.7 million years headline, it gave me a chance to type "Race was there!"

    Talk about having this place dialed in - now that's leadership by example !!!

    Hope all the n00bz are paying attention

    @IrishDawg22, your services are no longer needed....

    Stopped reading after 9.7 million. Can a species that can't even cure the common cold, really measure the age of something accurately that far back in time? No.

    Creationist confirmed. Did you speak in tongues and do a Jesus induced hot lap around your Pentecostal church today?
    Gullible sap confirmed. Believes everything he reads from the experts without confirming that the science behind it is actually sound.
    The science behind carbon dating is sound. What's a better alternative? That second Scientific American article does nothing to prove your point. It's about calibrating carbon dating estimates. Just a good example of how the science continually refines and improves itself.

    That's hyperbole. People like you lap it up.

    You mean like when all you have to sell your point is hyperbole and discredited fraudulent studies then scream "Case Closed, End of Discussion"?

    HL: The groundbreaking knowledge is that we have comparable finds only in East Africa. And these are much, much younger. These species are well known as Ardi and Lucy, and their canines look very similar to the one here from Eppelsheim, but they are only two, three, four or five million years old, and Eppelsheim is almost 10. So the question is: What has happened?

    DW: You mean - how this great ape got up to the Rhine valley, or whether the species in Africa came from Europe?

    HL: Yeah, we have similar species in Africa, but we don't know where this great ape came from. We do not have comparable finds from southern Europe, even from in between maybe Greece or Turkey. From there, we know of great ape fossils, but they all look much different. And so it's a great mystery.



    Looks like the Germans want to make the Rhine the cradle of humanity. White Power

    I like to argue with science. I do that.
