Homo erectus could have evolved from Asia

Texas is a strange place. More assholes per sq inch than any other place on earth, apparently.

We get a lot of Texans on my atheism boards...they are looking for some place to talk to reasonable people because there just aren't enough in Texas.

Well, we've got Greeks, Romanians, Albanians, and Italians...
And Welsh of course!

There has always been a tinge of nationalism in trying to recreate the past....not to mention a hint of racism at times as well.

One must guard against exaggerated claims.

"tinge"? "racism"? consider Bronze Age mediterranean studies for wonderfull examples of both.

One nice thing about impactors is that they don't discriminate.

Anyone trying to reconstruct hominid evolution while ignoring those big, perfectly round holes in the ground is ignoring some of the most important data affecting that evolution.

The new fossils must be viewed in that context as well.
