I was just teasing, Tony.&#13;&#10;> &#13;&#10;> I do ask you a question though, regarding your last comment. Science isn&apos;t about final answers, you know that, right? ALL theories are provisional. So moving the date back 30k years sould come as little suprise--new evidence will always push the boundary back a little further.-A little further would be moving the boundary from 30k-35k... or even 40k. With the new evidence that points to the conclusion that Homo Sapien and Neanderthal are even more similar than previously believed, we are effectively pushing the date back more than ten-fold, which opens up a lot more questions than it answers. If mother nature could swallow our cities in ~200 years, and completely eradicate our presence(with the exception of nuclear waste) at <~200k years, the what possibilities does that leave for ancestors with a guestimated history of ~400k+ years? -&#13;&#10;Yes, I know science is not about final answers. However, the average person does not think that way, nor do they recognize that when presented with all of these theories as fact.
