Kim Kardashian? Who just got her butt rather publicly x-rayed to prove that the savage innuendos about surgical implants in same musculature were like totally untrue? C'mon, folks: admit it. There are some people who have REAL lives, not the musty ditherings to be found on an obscure archeo-wha? for...

Right......... let's clear away some of the underbrush here: Yes, many of my friends are Arabs, i.e. Emirati and Saudi. Others are Arabic, i.e. from the Arabic speaking world (technically Arabic is a language, not a lineage); Syrians, Lebanese, Iranians, Iraquis. For those who may be wondering wotin...

Horrified reply #1 - "Some of my best friends are Arabs." Literally, as I've been living in Dubai for a time. The Arab culture and history is complex and goes well beyond Islam in its antiquity, history and scope. Try at least 125,000 years back on the Arabian peninsula, if you want to get...

I respectfully disagree. True to form

Das Klub will merely go "ape".

As in

Ape! Ape! Ape! Ape! Ape! Ape! Ape!

Seems a badass solar flare wiped out both the megafaunal populations and the Clovis kulchah..........

All other theories can now take their richly deserved back seat in the Museum of Fail.

All – “Personally, I am of the opinion that to get a Bachelors in Archaeology, the student should be able to shoot and field dress a deer or other ruminant. A docotorate (sic) should require the ability to make the hunting tool, hunt with it, slaughter the animal, make the fire, cook, and then eat.”...

Well - Do not lose all hope ye who enter here. There is the natural process of mineralization. Looking around my study, on the windowsill is a magnificent piece of petrified wood, then A beautifully preserved fish, right down to each bone and fin from the Green River shales in Utah, And a Miocene an...

Well, damn, sheep or coyote -

Basic physiology here..........

If you are not circumcised

Upon an erection, the foreskin recedes,

Leaving the glans fully exposed.

This, of course, puts an entirely different level of cognitive and symbolic twist

On the whole affair.

Minimalist - "As always, Ish, what is the evidence of this, in a scientific sense, with pre-literate humans? Its an interesting thesis but how does one prove it?" Boats, Hematite, American Handaxes, and Paleolithic Sashimi, to name a few............... Seek and ye shall find is one whole h...
