Off topic, but there is a **beautiful** article in this morning's Atlanta Journal Constitution on the South Carolina Topper site (author: Mike Toner). It isn't on the ajc.com website yet.

As one scientific icon after the other falls, is it safe for one to entertain the possibility of a young earth?
Yeah. I've had some of those.
That's one of the problems with dating an older woman.
Oops is right! Or is it: "oog"? :)
This 'Fraud' is one of the biggest names in paleoanthropology; for what it's worth. At least his webpage is offline. http://www.neanderthal-modern.com/weeurope.htm
"The current form of the modern human origins debate in paleoanthropology originated with Reiner Protschs (1975) contention that modern humans could be identified as a distinct entity and were of African origin." Source: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~wolpoff/Papers/aa-hawks.pdf
Here are a few of his papers that I found with a quick websearch. Many of his papers are used as references by government and educational websites and textbooks. As far as I am concerned, anything he's done is suspect.

New Evidence of Early Humans Unearthed in Russia's NorthStone tools, animal bones and an incised mammoth tusk found in Russia's frigid far north have provided what archaeologists say is the first evidence that modern humans or Neanderthals lived in the Arctic more than 30,000 years ago, at least 15,000 years earlier than previously thought... The tusk was carbon-dated at about 36,600 years old. Plant remains found among the artifacts were dated at 30,000 to 31,000 years... The discoverers said they could not determine from the few stone artifacts whether the site was occupied by Neanderthals, hominids who by then had a long history as hunters in Europe and western Asia, or some of the first anatomically modern humans to reach Europe... If these toolmakers were Neanderthals, the findings suggested that these human relatives, who became extinct after 30,000 years ago, were more capable and adaptable than they are generally given credit for. Living in the Arctic climate presumably required higher levels of technology and social organization... If they were modern humans, then the surprise is that they had penetrated so far north in such a short time. There has been no firm evidence for modern humans in Europe before about 35,000 years ago. It had generally been thought that the northernmost part of Eurasia was not occupied by humans until the final stage of the last ice age, some 13,000 to 14,000 years ago, when the world's climate began to moderate.

Sunkenciv, thanks for the ping.
Michael, you were slow to pull the trigger.
All, it does not appear to be just a dating problem. If I read things correctly, it is also an identification problem.
Work by the flamboyant Professor Reiner Protsch von Zieten showed that Neanderthal Man existed in northern Europe. Calculations on skeletal remains found at Hahnofersand, near Hamburg, stated they were 36,000 years old.
Most interesting and a story I will continue to follow.
Maybe, but he's walked in the US... his name is John Kerry.
;^)
If the were in Zermatt, they would have had to walk.
I noticed something on another forum last night which links to this article on FreeRepublic.
You might want to take a look.
