For Wood, though, Hublin’s use of “early modern humans” makes sense. And regardless of precise labels, he says, the Jebel Irhoud fossils have their place in the tapestry of humankind. “Three hundred thousand years ago, there is fossil evidence of a population that in a remarkable number of ways resembles modern humans, and you can make of that what you like,” says Wood. “You can either expand the definition of Homo sapiens to include [Jebel Irhoud], or these were creatures that were on their way to [becoming] modern humans.” (You can thank me later for clearing up a very small percentage of your vast ignorance) Another remarkable find, in the news: Footprint find on Crete may push back date humans began to walk upright HUMAN-like footprints have been found on an ancient sea shore. They shouldn’t be there. They’re in the wrong place at the wrong time. HUMAN-like footprints have been found stamped into an ancient sea shore fossilised beneath the Mediterranean island of Crete. They shouldn’t be there. Testing puts the rock’s age at 5.7 million years. That’s a time when palaeontologists believe our human ancestors had only apelike feet. And they lived in Africa. But a study into the Trachilos, western Crete, prints determines them to feature prominent human features and an upright stance. And that’s significant as the human foot has a unique shape. It combines a long sole, five short toes, no claws — and a big toe. In comparison, the foot of a Great Ape look much more like a human hand. And that step in evolution wasn’t believed to have taken place until some 4 million years ago... More That is terrific news. New discoveries are mostly always exciting unless they are new and more horrible ways to die I guess. So what’s new in religion these days? Any of God’s footprints found roaming around in Alabama? You see, that’s why science is so much more exciting than that “old time religion.” And by the way, you’re the first one to mention political correctness so I don’t understand why you are bitching.
