The Falk comparison would show more promise, if the next step was to expand the comparison sets in both modern normals and microcephalics first with maybe...
Thanks for posting my article, Mike. I had frustratingly little space to elaborate on the issues, but Science's news stories are always pretty tight on space. ...
You really ought to join Paleoanthro. Holloway is a member there and has indicated his reservations with the LB1 endocast's non-pathological status. If you...
Dave and all: I hope you're not suggesting that Palanthsci isn't "serious" enough! While I allow some "wandering", our main subject /*is */paleoanthropology...
... Well, yes, that is because I haven't published (aside from AAPA 2006 Abstract) my views, but I have explained again and again to science journalists,...
I wonder if Ralph Holloway's comments on possible pathology in LB1 raise the possibility that it was a separate species, but with some brain pathology. These...
All: I saw this on Dieneke's Anthropology Blog. I suspect it will be of considerable interest to many of you here. Unfortunately, what I saw was only an...

Yes, the tools could have been file photos perhaps, but they should identify them as such if that's what they did. In any event, the site itself is more...

Dave: I wasn't so concerned about the tools. They look like the kind of tools that probably were found at the site. But I wasn't quite sure what they meant...
"we'll never find another one like it". That is an enigmatic prediction. The site is pretty far to the north in Germany, but finding open-air sites is not all...
I'm starting to think it's the postholes Martin mentioned. That is a rare find at 120,000 years. It would help if more info on this site emerges. Dar...
