Neandertal diet was not dolphin-safe

Chris Stringer and colleagues (including Finlayson and Barton) have a paper
in the current PNAS early bin describing Neandertal exploitation of marine
mammals in the Gibraltar caves (Vanguard and Gorham's). The Neandertals left
some seals and dolphin bones with cutmarks behind, along with a lot of
mollusk shells.

When I pulled up the paper, it sounded very familiar to me, like I'd written
about it before. And indeed, I had, although I hadn't posted the results. A
couple of years ago I was doing some research on the Gibraltar caves and I
ran across a website from Oxford covering the Gibraltar excavations...

Credit where it's due, which means not to Marc. Anyone unfamiliar with
the Belgian bonehead's esoteric vernacular could be fooled into
thinking that that passage, which Marc posted without attribution,
referred to work he had done himself. Of course, it didn't. The whole
passage was written by John Hawks on his blog, from whence Marc cut &
pasted it:

Posting someone else's work under your own name without attribution
Marc? That's called "plagiarism", didn't you know that? That would get
you sacked instantly from an academic or journalistic posting. Good
thing no university or science magazine have ever been misguided
enough to give you a job...
