Quite sure that's Lee Berger in the pictures above, so it's a major human evolutionary "announcement".

Agreed. Looking forward to the revelation.

 

[rwenzori]

They found Zuma's brain ????????

That's an imaginary object.

 

[Hamster]

That's an imaginary object.

A theoretical concept.

A theoretical concept.

Long disproved along with flat earth.

Patrick will be devastated though.

 

[Aghori]

Bollocks. Everybody knows the Earth is flat and plate-shaped.

"Found human skeleton, it is 20,000 years old"?

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, British scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the Brits, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story was published in the New York Times: “American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the British”.

One week later, the Cape Times, in South Africa, reported the following: “After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Thabazimbi, South Africa, Lucky Simelane, a self-taught archaeologist at WITS, reported that he found absolutely … nothing! Lucky has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Africa had already gone wireless.”

Please pardon my ignorance, but naming conventions for new species always refer to latin names for the genus family and the discoverer's surname. Why hasn't this same naming convention been used in this case? ... or does this only apply to living species?
