Peking Man Dates Pushed Back 200G years

But it is the headline of this story which drives me up a wall.
'Peking Man' older than thought; somehow adapted to cold
"Somehow"? adapted? The continued mental image of early man as being too stupid to know to move out of the cold just boggles the mind. Do they really expect that they would sit there and gradually allow themselves to be covered by falling snow?

Sheeesh!
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

Older and perhaps wiser I think.
