Why Did Homo Erectus Not Retain a Tail?

This is hilarious, though.Look at his fossillized human gall bladder. He's like valentin.d. Remember him? With his dinosaur skulls? Good times.

He's just another loony drive-by spattering posts everywhere. Gone tomorrow or the day after

IIRC he's done a hit & run here before and Ray used to link to his stuff as well.I miss Ray and all that Sacred Inch knowledge.

C'mon, Percy, that's the famous Ed Conrad! Man as old as coal!It's a rock, Ed.

Did they lose their tails in the same catastrophe?

The question is not what you think is true vs what others think is trueThe question is how you test the truth of concepts, what is the paradigm, the methodology, the means others could use to vet your opinions.Without that, all you have is opinion, and opinion alone is curiously lacking in ability to alter or measure reality.Enjoy

And the bullet hole in the Neanderthal (or whatever) skull. That was funny.I though this pic was hilarious: You can tell its a human skull because it has a hat on (duh!)Where do these people come from???HBD

A number of years ago, at our statewide archaeological meetings, a gentleman showed up and set up a table to show us all his ancient rock carvings. Perhaps 300 archaeologists looked at the rocks, and they were all natural.But this fellow wasn't phased by that. It wasn't long before he started making a bunch of exciting new finds--out in front of the hotel among the ornamental landscaping rocks.The really funny thing is, about ten years later we had a different fellow show up at the meeting doing the exact same thing!I wonder if....Hmmmm.
