Oldest Modern Humans Found
DrLudicrous writes "Anthropologists have reconstructed and dated three skulls from Ethiopia that they believe to be the oldest anatomically modern human skulls in existance. They date to 160,000 years ago, in agreement with genetic studies that pin the arrival of modern humans to at least 150,000 years ago. The skulls also demonstrate evidence of ritual burial." UC Berkeley has the original release as well.

Si quis vestrum, patres conscripti, exspectat quas sim provincias decreturus, consideret ipse secum qui mihi homines ex provinciis potissimum detrahendi sint; non dubitavit quid sentire me conveniat, cum, quid mihi sentire necesse sit, cogitarit. Ac si princeps eam sententiam dicerem, laudaretis profecto; si solus, certe ignosceritis; etiamsi paulo minus utilis vobis sententia videretur, veniam tamen aliquam dolori meo tribueritis. Nunc vero, Patres conscripti, non parva adficior voluptate, vel quod hoc maxime rei publicae conducit Syriam Macedoniamque decerni, ut dolor meus nihil a communi utilitate dissentiat, vel quod habeo auctorem P. Servilium, qui ante me sententiam dixit, virum clarissimum et cum in universam rem publicam, tum etiam erga meam salutem fide ac benevolentia singulari.
Quodsi ille, et paulo ante, et quotienscumque ei locus dicendi ac potestas fuit, Gabinium et Pisonem, duo rei publicae portenda ac paene funera, cum propter alias causas, tum maxime propter illud insigne scelus eorum et importunam in me crudelitatem, non solum sententia sua, sed etiam verborum gravitate esse notandos putavit, quonam me animo in eos esse oportet, cuius illud salutem pro pignore tradiderunt ad explendas suas cupiditates? Sed ego in hac sententia dicenda non parebo dolori meo, non iradundiae serviam. Quo animo unus quisque vestrum debet esse in illos, hoc ero; praecipuum illum et proprium sensum doloris mei, quem tamen vos communem semper vobis mecum esse duxistis, a sententia dicenda amovebo, ad ulciscendi tempora reservabo.
Quattuor sunt provinciae, Patres conscripti, de quibus adhuc intellego sententias esse dictas, Galliae duae, quas hoc tempore uno imperio videmus esse coniunctas et Syria et Macedonia, quas vobis invitis et oppressis pestiferi illi consules properversae rei publicae praemiis occupaverunt. Decernandae nobis sunt lege Sempronia duae. Quid est quod possimus de Syria Macedonia dubitare? Mitto quod eas ita partas habent ii, qui nunc optinent, ut non ante attingerint, quam hunc ordinem condemnarint, quam auctoritatem vestram e civitate exterminarint, quam fidem publicam, quam perpetuam populi Romani salutem, quam me ac meos omnis foedissime crudelissimeque vexarint.

I read about this and it seems that the skull belonged to one of Strom Thurman's first children.
Yeah, like I'm going to choose to believe some nerdy anthropologist who would rather dig with his tiny shovel out in the desert than be with a girl. No thanks, I'll stick with the Bible. At least I ain't goin to hell.
Defend this.
Christianity is wrong. I do, however, strongly oppose the idea that the bible is inerrant.
Christianity is not wrong, you monster.

You (...) achieve something.
Thank you. To what aims, I do not know, but it is nice to be appreciated.

Who said (to a bunch of school kids) he firmly believed that the earth was created no more than 20, 000 years ago? Fundamentalism is the greatest; Christian, Islamic, Hebrew, give them an unexamined faith and they will run with it.
I went to battle MC Escher but drew a blank
This is what happens when Neanderthals try to use the Homo Sapien tools:
