If I recall correctly, red ochre was commonly used on masks of the dead in South American cultures as well.

Investigators now say that red ocher found in Qafzeh Cave's oldest sections supports the controversial theory that symbolic thinking, a hallmark of modern-day human thought, arose deep in the Stone Age.

In fact, we never would have gotten to the Stone Age without it.

"90,000"

Considering that humans are the best propigators, manipulators and adapters in the world, you could project that if humans were writing 90,000 years ago, the world population would be 900,000,000,000 not 6,000,000,000. America would have been linked 85,000,000 years ago and we would be living in paved technological splendor!

"And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."

Qafzeh is mentioned here as the first site outside of Africa for robust but anatomically modern humans. I used to have a good web page bookmarked with pictures of some of the Qafzeh fossils but it seems to be gone.

Red Clay People Alert !!

Does this mean the First Americans (the ones who followed similar funerary practices all up and down the east coast of North and South America) were Jewish ? Palestinian ?

90,000 years

Sorry, but this can not be true. I read someplace on FR that the earth and universe were only 6000 years old.
