“the tar pieces captured the DNA of two females and one male”
What? DNA doesn’t determine gender. These scientists need to go to reeducation camp.

Yeah - and the ancients used to store wine in lead containers because it made the wine taste sweeter...while making the drinkers insane....can’t imagine turpentine residue being good for one.

I don't don't know if they're related but recently they dod a
reconstruction of a 9000-year-old skull of a young girl found in Greece. She has the dark hair and skin mentioned here but has dark eyes. To me she looks like a possible daughter of Dwayne Johnson and Sigourney Weaver.

Thanks for the pings and for posting this, I've been unable to devote time to FR of late. Some ABC gum from the Neolithic, sounds delicious. Probably the reason its qualities got discovered was the flavor? Or perhaps medicinal or other qualities?

Does your chewing tar lose its flavor on your axe handle overnight?
