The shells are engraved with geometric "zigzag" patterns that predate the weathering process that caused the shells to become fossilized. The study eliminated natural occurrences or animals as the inscribers, suggesting they were created by the ancient hominids. To make their findings the researchers used two dating methods the researchers used two dating methods, which revealed the shells were carved between 430,000 and 540,000 years ago.

HOMO ERECTUS

Didn’t Rand write about the virtue of shellfishness?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Didn’t homo erectus migrate to San Francisco??

Hmm...Just like being in 3rd grade...<: <: <:

Looking at the ‘word’ homo erectus just draws a chuckle and seems very obscene to say the least.

One of those ‘catchall’ words like niggardly - when used very properly can still cause an eyebrow to ‘raise’ now and then...

Looks like BO is interpreting it in the way I am ‘thinking’ it...<: <:

[Uncle Miltie]

Did someone say "Zig Zag"?

[aMorePerfectUnion]

So...

They conclude intelligent design implies a creator. We’ve come full circle!

So, now is there a concern that we need to modify the calenders?

Next we’ll hear about Art Shell being carved by a Bay Area Home Erectus

These were found on the island of Java. So the engravings were made by well-caffeinated Homines erecti.

Given the constituents of that picture, would it not be more correct to perhaps use one of the descriptions of man, perhaps Troglodyte, or Neanderthal?

And NO, it’s not racist.

Face it, the folks in that pic are not to the right of the Bell curve in ANY sense.

[rdl6989]

In before the ping.

[Vaquero]

Homo erectus split into Neanderthal and Peking man. Europeans contain 2-3% neanderthal genes. Asians around 4% Peking man genes. Sub Saharan Africans have near 0%.

Let’s not denigrate our ancestors. They gave the west and Asia the brilliant society we have (which is being subverted by those who want us to live in mud huts)

You owe me a new keyboard, lol.

[right way right]

HA! are you trying to start a seriesportainious hughacedamis type of discussion? here?
