Makes sense to me Sam. I was thinking of modern instruments, but clapping stones would make a percussion sound.

Very nice - upgraded server. Thanks much. The link in the news section still goes to the old link, but that probably helps get the word out for the time being.

Min, obviously my right hand is better.

Hawks has a short blog on the above article.

Great article Min. Nice to see a report on what we have talked about for several years. Thanks.

Wow! I did not realize that my suggestion to look at Furada would lead to such extrapolation.

Nevertheless, I still maintain that Furada has the best possibility of being an African entry into the new world.

Great. I see that you are looking at Pedra Furado. Good luck Paul.

These articles are always frustrating. I did a search for an actual report, abstract, or pdf, and found nothing. This has the potential to be big news, but they didn't give us any news at all. I'm guessing their were no human remains, but humans always leave their trash around. Artifacts could tell ...

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty good right now. but there's no doubt in my mind that the Empire will strike back. It will be interesting.

I maintain that the one looks distinctly African, although not all of them do. If you haven't already, you might take a look at Pedra Furada in Brazil. I'm becoming more open to ...

Great point Min. This guy writing the article is just off base I think. We've always known (or think we've known), that the birth canal is more forward thrusting and slimmer because that's the price we pay for bipedalism. So I think he's on the wrong track. Plus he wasn't working with a complete fem...

Some time ago I recall reading a suggestion that the early tree-dwellers were forced to abandon the trees because climate change thinned the forests making it impossible for those tree-dwellers to stay aloft. There's a certain logic to it if you apply Darwin's idea that a population has to be under...
