- inactive, on 12/04/2008, -9/+232Imagine all the knowledge we would possess if not for religious crusades and destruction of ancient libraries.
- Zamboni33, on 12/04/2008, -23/+193How can this be if the Earth is only 6,000 years old? I refuse to believe it. Fossils or it didn't happen.
- bixby1, on 12/04/2008, -11/+118Why not? I'm two years older than I tell people.
- IphtashuFitz, on 12/04/2008, -9/+112But the fossils are just fakes put there by God so you can't trust them to show that this happened!
- jcastillo81, on 12/04/2008, -11/+97So you're saying humans are 86,000 years old now?

- redgiemental, on 12/04/2008, -23/+7480, 000 years isn't that big in this context but it's interesting none the less.
- Harabeck, on 12/04/2008, -4/+51Or if China had industrialized instead of going xenophobic 400 years before the industrial revolution.

- shinsplints, on 12/04/2008, -11/+51They used Argon dating to find 300,000 year-old people? Haven't they heard of EHarmony!
- acknotSW, on 12/04/2008, -1/+37Maybe if the idocy is pointed out often enough, it will go away.
- freezerburn666, on 12/04/2008, -3/+34sounds like a hell of a long time to me, could you imagine 80,000 years in the future?
- DjOverEZ, on 12/04/2008, -0/+31The guy from Die Hard.
- roxics, on 12/04/2008, -3/+34Here's what I'm curious about. It you look back at "modern" history dating back to the ancient Egyptians as an example. These were highly skilled intelligent people, probably not much different then us today. Humans beings have been pretty much the same for the last 6000-10000 years. So if humans beings are really wayyyy older then that, at what point did we make a leap from cave drawings to pyramid building? Seems like an awful gap left there. I don't know. I'm just asking.
- regularstormy, on 12/04/2008, -4/+35The other problem with dating volcaning rock is that it doesn't put out...
- yayster, on 12/04/2008, -2/+29It is all about our ability to communicate with each other.
writing is new, and that allowed the transfer of knowledge.

it would be few thousand years before we got back to the point of making this bad boy.
oh thank you religious nut cases for repressing social and scientific advance. - cyrusuncc, on 12/04/2008, -4/+28Aliens left those tools to fool us.
Damn E.T. - Hillsfar, on 12/04/2008, -5/+27About time. Archaeologists and others have long tried to blacklist and discredit those who found and dared to bring to light evidence of tool use and civilization from before the established theories of timeline and prehistory.
Olmec stone carvings over 30,000 years old found in Mexico discredit the prevailing notion that humans only traversed from Siberia to North America 15,000 years ago. And yet those who dared to reveal that fact found themselves academically relegated to the backwaters of science. - inactive, on 12/04/2008, -1/+22Well Ethiopia is the cradle of the human race, that's why they find all these fossils there. It's also the only African country that was never colonized and which has a written history, it has also a long and glorious past. The present is kinda ***** over there, but still..
- num3thod, on 12/04/2008, -2/+23You mean, mormonic.
- OPR8R, on 12/04/2008, -3/+24Nah... Just 40% of our entire time in existence.
- oboshoe, on 12/04/2008, -2/+23See we're actually 276,000 years old, but we don't look a day over 196,000 years old.
- apec766, on 12/04/2008, -0/+20I can't WAIT for Fire 2.0
- stanleyford, on 12/04/2008, -3/+23EDIT: Did some more research, and apparently there are some people who believe that fossils were put there by God. It's worthwhile to note, however, that not all (or even most) creation apologists believe this. Not that it makes sense anyway.
- danthemanhan, on 12/04/2008, -1/+21My babysitter when I was 4 told me that there were no such thing as dinosaurs, and that it was a big hoax. it was all cow bones, she proudly informed me. My mom came home to me crying, my shakily constructed view of the universe held together with the mortar that is Bill Nye having just been crushed. She never babysat me again. the only thing I remember about her was she had really fat upper arms.
- sindex, on 12/04/2008, -1/+20Scientists love being proven wrong. It means we're learning.
- acknotSW, on 12/04/2008, -0/+18The same thing always crosses my mind when I see stories like this. Why did it take us so long to get to this point? The only thing I can think of is that not enough people were educated and able to read and not enough of those that were had access to the resources they needed to make huge advancements in science. One fire and whole branches of human knowledge could vanish and take centuries to reacquire. The printing press took one tremendous step forward in mans ability to preserve knowledge and now the internet is an equally huge step.
Imagine if came up with the plans to build a working fusion plant and uploaded them to a popular web forum. Within minutes, thousands of copies could exist on computers all over the world making the knowledge almost impossible to lose. - simg, on 12/04/2008, -2/+18the pace of "technological change" would have been *a lot* slower back then.
there probably only was one major technological development - fire, and fire 2.0 would have to wait another 280,000 years ... - lolwaffle, on 12/04/2008, -1/+17I don't think it's really possible or even responsible to simply draw a line saying humans appeared x many years ago. It's no wonder people have a hard time wondering how one species becomes or creates another, because it sounds like were saying a monkey-like creature simply gave birth to a human, and boom, there we are. I'm not an evolutionary scientist, but I do know it's a very gradual process, which I think should be emphasized more than it is.
- Leviathan433, on 12/04/2008, -4/+20and by opinion you mean data derived research backed by scientific rigor.
- Pezza131214, on 12/04/2008, -3/+18The thing that i wonder about is that they dated volcanic ash. I know that dating some volcanic rock can yield pretty weird numbers, showing rocks being older than they are. The idea with dating volcanic rock is that the 'atomic clock' 'resets' when the rock cools, however this isn't always the case. I'm not an expert though, so it'll be interesting to see how this holds up in the peer reviewed literature.
EDIT: I want to make it clear, i'm not making a creationist argument. I believe humans have been around for between 100,000 and 200,000 years. - Shaggy3, on 12/04/2008, -0/+15THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING.

- DannyMack, on 12/04/2008, -5/+19I'm a Catholic Christian and I do believe in evolution. Being Christian is about following the way of Christ, not arguing modern science. Your statement implies that all Christians believes the earth is 6k old...that's ignorant.....but I'm Christian, so I forgive you ;)
- o0joshua0o, on 12/04/2008, -5/+19Does anyone know where I can buy some shoes? I was thinking about going to a reputable website to find them, but maybe it would be better to get a random link from a spammer on digg instead.

- Kajarago, on 12/04/2008, -0/+12Not yet?
- seltaeb4, on 12/04/2008, -4/+16Who?
- quamquam20, on 12/04/2008, -1/+13Yeah, damn those pesky archaeologists. Demanding sound excavation techniques and accurate dating methods is absurd.
Archaeologists often hesitate to shift dates around based on a single unexpectedly old site because it can throw off dates for other, better dated and documented sites.
Sites like Meadowcroft and Cactus Hill on the East coast of the US have bumped back the initial dates for migration into the Americas to before 15,000 bp, but Meadowcroft especially was excavated carefully (as in, they used razor blades instead of trowels) because backlash was expected from supporters of the Clovis first model (and also because you should dig carefully all the time if you give a ***** about obtaining information in addition to finding stuff).
So basically, chill out. There's no conspiracy. Archaeologists always have to be on the look out for pseudoarchaeology and hoaxes, so some cynicism should be expected.
By the way~ are you referring to Tlapacoya?
(As a side note~ coastal migration is also a possible route, probably in addition to the Beringia model. Any sites along the Pacific coast have been under water since the end of the last glacial period.) - lebondarken, on 12/04/2008, -3/+14JAYSUS did co-exist with the Leviathan dinos!!!
Just that... well... the Gospel of T(short for Thomas ofcourse)-Rex was cut during The Council of Nicaea.

Such a great story too... Jesus pulled a giant thorn from his paw and there was much rejoicing!
