And your adding to the flame war is not?

Thats a statement of fact Lee.

What would you know about facts?
For one, facts are most often challenged in a disrespectful way.
There's no real attempt at discourse, only the effort to prove
superiority in order to feed an ego. Epictetus:"When I man showed me I
was wrong, I was grateful to no longer be thinking wrongly. But when I
performed the same service for another, he always went away angry."

I've worked with the retarded, and when you show them they are wrong,
they are not angry at me, but dismayed. Anger is often expressed as
asininity, and is a symptom of neurosis, not stupidity.

The facts in this thread are few; all the remains of the early
hominids at issue would fit in a foot locker. We have no way of
knowing whether they are really representative of most hominids alive
at the time, and the fact is, we really dont know how many there were
in ecosystems that did not favor the preservation of fossils.

The recent skull found in Chad was in what had been a seasonal delta
like the Okavango. We have no way of knowing if the bone found was
deposited there by floodwaters or whether the individual died in situ.
We know that animals, including hominids, when sick, even if normally
living on savannah, will seek water, and more often die near it. The
proximity of the waterway proves very little.

We really dont have many facts, and what we do have does not warrant
the passion I've seen expressed.
