... Yes, but in this context I would translate it as "lake sediments". ... They specifically mentioned geologists, but not in which subfield. Maybe ...
Hi Daryl, It is a bit puzzling to me to hear about "pre-Neanderthal" fossils in what I thought were both Neanderthal territory and Neanderthal timelines. It...
Yeah. The dates don't add up. I wasn't trying to make them do so, either. There are obvious discrepancies with them. 80ka of stratigraphy is one way of...
Daryl: Oh. No. I really didn't think you were "unimpressed" with Dr. Hawks! I could tell you were "unimpressed" by the article. As you can probably guess...
All: This has been reported elsewhere, but the Hawks blog has a story about an H.erectus mandible being discovered recently, in Morocco. Not much information...
... Yo, Dale: That other anachronism raises so many possibilities that my tiny mind boggles: bioturbation, cryoturation, erosion and redeposition, exhumation...

All: If you click on the link to Dr. Hawks' blog, it is now on a different server, and has an entirely new look, which IMO is quite clever. If you don't know...

It's the same press release from a different source. The one Ross posted was also official, at least as official as this one is. John Hawks also quoted that...
The quote from Pettit in the article is right on. They need to do controlled studies with instruments. All caves are acoustically resonant to one degree or...
David: Just about everything that has been written about cave art and the caves they were painted in, or the purpose of the paintings, etc., etc., is pretty...

Dave: The only reason I posted this announcement at all, since it was basically the same one as before, was that it was the "official" one. And if these...
