Hi everyone, Here are some ideas I just posted to the Paleoanthro group. Note, if the ancestors of modern humans (HSS) arose as hybrids (H. erectus x H....

Note: I suspect the hunting of large animals, and probably also temporarily abundant (migratory or seasonal) animals like salmon, probably gave rise to...
A researcher discovered that there are wooden stakes in several shallow ponds/lakes in North America. He hypothesized that these stakes were used to perserve...
Anthony, Very interesting. As someone who used to go fishing frequently as a child and teenager, I have another idea of what those stakes could have been for....
Note, this new skull is dated at 1.8 million years old, roughly a million years older than the previously reported Dmanisi skulls. In my estimation, this...
Scratch that. It appears that all of the Dmanisi specimens are currently believed to be approximately 1.8 million years old, if my web searches are to be...
Dan saw this story on BBC News Online and thought you should see it. ** Message ** Lots of new animal species, including primates, appear to have been found in...
I thought this would be of interest. Some questions: What did H. floresiensis have on their heads - fur or hair? It seems the only difference is, hair...

Dan's rambling notes: If Bushmen are treated like this in today's world, just imagine how H. floresiensis or similar hominids might be treated. If any still...

Hi, Flores Man Group, A friend of yours, Dan Gannon, just asked us to pass this along to you. Here's the link at Discovery.com that they thought you'd be...

These figures are curious. If the differences between chimp DNA and humans are about 10 times greater than between any two humans, and humans and chimps...
Along this line of thinking, I'm reminded of the discrepancy between the dating of Mitochondrial Eve (roughly 200,000 years ago) vs Scientific Adam (roughly...
I not sure I agree. A preliminary search of the web indicates that the entire genetic diversity of humans is similar in degree to the genetic diversity found...
Hi Michael, That's interesting. If that's so, I would question the figure given in the article, that the differences between chimp DNA and human DNA are about...
Michael, Another thought, I question whether the genetic diversity found in only one troupe of chimpanzees is actually as great as you have stated. Why would...
To put it another way, all other things being equal (that is a big caveat,) the genetic differences between chimpanzees and humans should be roughly 60 times...
P.S., I wonder what manner of genetic bottlenecks that chimp populations are thought to have gone through, since 6 MYA. Does anyone have information on this? ...
Here's an interview with Christopher Wills, in which he estimates that chimpanzees have about 2 or 3 times as much genetic diversity as humans (both taken as a...
