I mean, SOMETIMES you can take me seriously! Most times, in fact. It's just that sometimes I feel a bit puckish and like to kid around.

I've not read the article and I know nothing about the case, so cannot comment knowledgably about it. <br /><br />I was using your post more as an opportunity to air my own pet hypothesis and to simultaneously poke fun at folks who aspire to be experts in fields they know nothing about. You knbow: like Kevin Barrett's qualifications as a structural engineer/political analyst, Gavin Menzies as a historian/archaeologist, or Barry Fell as a linguist/archaeologist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12426239.post-56878933159022368202006-11-08T21:22:00.000-06:002006-11-08T21:22:00.000-06:00But isn't this the problem?

Nothing mystical or supernatural about them. There just isn't much data on them.<br /><br />My own hypothesis is that they represent scattered populations of australopithecines who, after what happened in the Pliocene, learned to avoid members of the genus Homo ...<br /><br />But then, I'm a botanist not an anthropologist ...<br />;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
