Thanks for the update Donald. I think now that hominid fossils are being found all over the world, Valsequillo will fall in line with what is being discovered.

I agree Donald, however when we were in the midst of the Valsequillo controversy I was doing intense research and IIRC her notes were slowly being scattered to the wind. I'm not sure if Virginia's even alive anymore one correspondent that contacted me said she was very ill. I sent her an email and got nothing in response. It's possible that the notes might not even exist anymore af

Years ago when I was going to school there seemed to be an 'urban legend' (perhaps scholastic legend would be a better term.) that scientific articles couldn't be copyrighted, because according to the legend, researchers had to have access to the article in order to see if they could duplicate the findings. All very noble, and all very wrong. I found journal after journal where

The song was funnier than hell. The rat killing minks and dog combo was awesome. OTOH I was under the impression that most rats were hiding in barns. Are those cement feeding troughs? I don't much about farming but with the Corona virus devastating farmers because their markets are dying because everybody is self-isolating, I've become intensely concerned about them.

I'm breaking this out from the corona virus string so it doesn't get lost. This just goes to show how delicate an ecosystem, any ecosystem is, to changes in its parameters, humans got sick, self-quarantined, and inadvertently stopped feeding the rats which led to mass starvation, infanticide wars, and cannibalism.

On a snarky assed aside, maybe Trump should invoke the Defense act and order all the drug manufacturers that were poisoning us with Opioids and getting half the population addicted to them to make Hydroxychloroquine for free as part of their reparations. Jez saying.

Just got back from Taiwan literally a couple of hours ago, Jet lag caught up with me, but the cornonavirus is spreading, everybody is wearing face masks. And on a humorous note (if there's anything funny about it.). In Japan the Japanese were getting tired of the Chinese buying up their face masks supply and printed Taiway flags on them knowing that the Chinese would never wear them it wor

Well, we're covering the same ground over and over, and still nobody has falsified the hypothesis that the elephant tusk was jammed in the ground by humans. Let's not forget that was what changed it from a paleontological dig to an archeological dig. Supply the answer along with rigorous, repeatable, experimental data conducted in a laboratory showing that it was the result of natura

Yes the tusk issue trumped everything else for a simple reason, there's only one possible explanation for it; a human shoved it in the ground. So rather than address that point the anti-Cerutti gang ignores it declares victory and goes home. Except there's no home to go to.

As usual the article never even mentioned the upright mastodon tusk that was clearly shoved into the ground that could only have been accomplished by some sort of mechanical advantage. There's cherry-picking and ignoring the Cherry tree.

Read the paper a long time ago. I performed m own experiments and got virtually the same fracture patterns and posted the results here... Did you ever find that paper on the upright tusk? No? That's okay. I've moved on from Cerutti. I've moved into the far distant future (relative to Cerutti) the Civil War.
