How could there be an “ice age” without climate change. Scientist today claim only man can change the earth’s climate. /s
WOWEEEEE!!!! Thanks for posting.
Foot bone from a tiger, no doubt.
from the article: “The archaeological work in Pilanduk Cave would not have been possible without the previous research of Jonathan Kress, who led the first excavation of the site in 1970. Jonathan passed away on 6 August 2022. The Pilanduk and Ille Cave teams remember him most fondly, especially for his joie de vivre and enthusiasm for field work, stone tools, and molluscs. He would share and recall the local names of various shell taxa, which were taught to him by the indigenous team he worked with. Engaging with students was important for him and he regaled us with exciting and adventurous stories about Palawan in the 1970s. We remember Jonathan as gentle, kind, patient, and full of wisdom.”
I try to believe that most scientists are like this. They’re NOT folks who can watch suffering unmoved, or who have no faith in a deity.
Anybody that wants their picture taken for the magazine article better get here early. They'll start taking pictures at 630 AM tomorrow.
“Last Ice Age at ca. 20,000-25,000 years ago,”
But somehow we have caused the climate to severely change in the last 100 years.
Right.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
I had been deployed to the PI a few times way back in the day for training, but I don’t think I ever went to Palawan.
I admit to my mind jumping to the PI under an ice sheet when I read the title. Doh.
Note how Palawan is either part off the mainland or only separated by a river sized sliver of water.
“particularly for dating mollusc remains.”
Reminds me of Slick Willy’s comment “That’s one good looking mummy”
[oh? it’s not THAT kind of dating?]
