Sounds like the BBC thing 'Walking with
Cavemen" -- and it cost 4 million pounds
sterling ($7.5m) to make. But it's total and
absolute crap.

PA people claim that the savanna theory
has been displaced. It hasn't. It rules all
normal understanding. It is, at least, a
theory, and you can't replace something
with nothing. You could even say that
such abysmal crap is better than the
'nothing' which standard PA wants to
put in its place.
